Netflix is a modern miracle when it comes to the legal streaming of digital video content. From just about anywhere in the world, we can log on and tune into some of our favorite shows. Well, so long as those ‘favorite shows’ are being streamed to the same geographical location we happen to be in. The problem, of course, is when we want to watch shows on Netflix that are streaming in different countries. Say, for instance, you are sitting in Germany and want to tune into a show that only streams in the US. Most of the time, you would be completely out of luck, especially seeing as how Netflix’s VPN blocking strategies are almost bulletproof – ‘almost’ being the operative word here. There are some good VPNs that will allow you to stream the US Netflix media library directly to your device in Germany.   

What to look for in a good VPN

when you compare the German Netflix media library with the American Netflix media library, Netflix Deutschland filmangebot and Netflix Amerikanisches angebot respectively if you prefer the phrase in German, there is a noticeable difference in how many shows are available. There is also a big difference in the quality of content available from region to region. TV and film industry in the United States is much more expensive than it is in Germany, and streaming services like Netflix are an easy way to see those differences. So, when you find yourself sitting in Germany wishing you could login to your US Netflix account the question of which VPN you should purchase is almost certainly crossed your mind at least once.

While on the lookout for a good VPN is a couple of things that you have to keep in mind. For one thing the overall user experience of the VPN that you choose is important. Not only should it be efficient and easy to use, but there should also be plenty of security features and advanced VPN strategies that will get you past the infamous Netflix VPN blocks. There are really only a few VPNs that will reliably allow you to access Netflix different country over a VPN. Another thing to keep in mind is how fast the VPN is. Speed is already an issue when streaming in your home country, but when doing it from halfway across the globe speed is an even bigger factor. Especially when you consider that all of your traffic over a VPN is being encrypted and relayed through a remote server.

Sign into the right account

just as Netflix media libraries change from region to region, accounts do as well. Whichever country you are in when you create your Netflix account determines what type of Netflix account you have. So, if you are planning to enjoy the American Netflix media library (Netflix Amerikanisches angebot) while in Germany you’re going to need to create a new Netflix account while running the new VPN. Netflix systems should see that you are signing up with an American IP address. Once you have a solid VPN service that will allow you to access Netflix in the United States as well as an American Netflix account, can say goodbye to the German Netflix media library (Netflix Deutschland filmangebot).
