Netflix Comes To Philippines. Access Full Video Library With NordVPN

Published

on

Netflix made a surprise announcement last week extending its services to 130 countries, including Philippines. Its video streaming services are now available in 190 countries total, spiking company¹s shares by 9 percent.

However, many are concerned that the international Netflix cannot offer the same library of shows and movies as the company doesn¹t have global rights to some of its originals shows, like ³House of Cards.² For example, Australian Netflix selection of shows pales in comparison to American video library: there are about 7,000 more titles available in the U.S. The same goes for Britain, Canada, and other older Netflix countries. While Netflix is negotiating global licenses, most of its users around the world remain left out from watching some of the best shows that Netflix has to offer.

Netflix comes to Philippines bringing exciting entertainment options, but also frustrating limitations to what can be watched compared to the U.S. selection.

There is also the other side of the coin. If you are from Philippines, and go on vacation to the U.S. or to any other country, you will not be able to access many of the shows and movies that were specifically targeted to Philippines.

These geographically-based restrictions are taking away the freedom of watching what we want from where we want. How is one tracked if they connect to one of these services from a ³wrong² country? When a user goes online, their IP address reveals their location. It¹s a unique address that their current wifi hotspot provides, giving away their current country, region and town. As a result, that user will not be able to access American Netflix from another country, including Philippines.

Those who want to have total freedom of legally watching Netflix without geographical restrictions, have one solution: VPN (Virtual Private Network) services. A VPN service links user¹s computer and Internet to a server in a country of their choice – so that person can appear to be in the U.S., while they actually are in Philippines, and vice versa. With a VPN, they can access most streaming services without limitations – and that includes Netflix, Spotify, Pandora, Hulu, YouTube and so on.

VPN service hides a true geographical location by masking user¹s IP address with the IP address of the server that they connect to. So when the streaming site looks at their IP, it will see the IP of the VPN server. VPNs also offer security by encrypting all data shared between the Internet and a user¹s system, so none of the data can be compromised.

NordVPN is one of the world¹s most advanced VPN service providers. The company has recently released a Mac app that is extremely user friendly. With a click of the ³ON² button a user connects to the fastest server in the country of their choice. With SmartPlay option users can connect to any server and immediately see all available resources ready for streaming – no need to connect to different servers for each option.

Instructions to connect to U.S. Netflix with NordVPN

If you have a Netflix account already in Philippines and would like to access U.S. Netflix movie/TV show library, follow these steps:
