How to Hide Your Location From Netflix

In order to get an American IP address you have to connect to a VPN server. VPN stands for private virtual network – it is far less complicated than it sounds. When you connect to a VPN server it will act as a middleman between you and the website you want to connect to, and if the VPN server is located in the US it will then look like you are too.

How to Setup a VPN Connection to Watch Netflix Outside the US

Most VPN providers can make you appear to be in the US, but frankly only a handfull have the bandwidth needed to stream high quality video. I prefer WishVPN as they give me the best results and the setup is the easiest I have come across. To setup the connection you install a small app for either PC or Mac and select where in the US you want to hide – that is it. The app will allow you to test out what server will give you the best speed – a valuable tool for getting the most out of your connection. Basically it takes all the hard work out of setting up a VPN.

You can also do a manual setup if you prefer, and once signed up you get access to settings for iPad, iPhones and Android phones as well WishVPN

How to Watch Netflix in Malaysia

Even though Netflix is not available in Malaysia you can still access the US version by using a little quick trick.

Netflix will determine your location by looking up your IP address. An IP address is a unique number that you inherit from your Internet Provider when going online. This number is a dead give away of your location and since Netflix can see you are located in Malaysia.

Fake Your Location to Watch Netflix in Malaysia

So what you need to do is fake your location so Netflix thinks that you are located in the US. You can do this by connecting to a Virtual Private Network also known as VPN. This will allow you to send all data via a server located in the US. This server will act as a middleman between you and Netflix and then you will be allowed to both sign up and stream Netflix all while being located in Malaysia.

Setting up VPN to Watch Netflix

I tried getting this to work with a range of different VPN providers and the best one was WishVPN . The streaming quality was the best I have seen and besides they have made a small app for both Mac and PC that make setting up a VPN connection really easy. Simply install the app and select where in the US you want to hide and then click connect. That is all there is to it really.
You can use the manual settings from WishVPN for your iPad, iPhone and Android device as well. Just remember that you need to have the Netflix app installed on your device first. On an IOS device you need access to the US iTunes store. If you do not have an American credit card you can gain access by on itunes or ebay and then redeem it.
That is all there is to it if you want to watch Netflix in Malaysia. Happy viewing.
