Access the Best of Netflix with Hotspot Shield

netflix-unblock
Thinking of getting a Netflix subscription? Now that Netflix, one of the world’s most popular media streaming websites, has announced that it will be available in 190 countries, people from all over the world are signing up for subscriptions. But here’s a (not so) well-kept secret: Netflix users around the world don’t have access to the same amount of content. That is, a user in the US will not have access to the same content on Netflix as a user in Turkey or Australia. Due to restrictions, there are several shows and movies on Netflix that are available in only select countries, and not in others. But don’t worry, because with Hotspot Shield you can access the best of Netflix, no matter which country you are in!

What is Netflix?

For anyone who is new to Netflix, it is a media streaming website that gives you access to an online library of movies, shows and documentaries which you can stream all you want, in exchange for a fixed monthly fee. The fee varies from country to country, but is around US $8-12 per month, depending on the package you choose.

Which Netflix content are you missing out on?

Depending on which country you are in, there are several shows and movies which are not available to you, even if they are available in other countries through Netflix. For example, you can watch the movie ‘Inception’ on Netflix if you are in Japan, but not in the US. Popular TV show ‘The Office’ is available in the US and Canada, but not anywhere else.

How to Access the Best of Netflix:

However, this won’t be a problem if you’re a Hotspot Shield user. All you have to do then is to turn on Hotspot Shield Elite, choose the virtual location in which the desired content is available (refer to the table below), and enjoy your favorite movies and shows on Netflix!
