Posted on July 18, 2016 | by Christine Wilson | 1 Comment - Last update: January 1, 2020

Would you like to get access to South African Netflix while living somewhere else? Maybe you are out on a holiday somewhere? This is how you can access South African Netflix while abroad.

It can be frustrating to go abroad and visit Netflix.com. Maybe you have been watching a film on Netflix or are in the middle of a TV series. Now you just want to continue watching, but once abroad you discover that you cant watch the film or TV series that you watched in South Africa, simply because it is not available in your current Netflix region. So, what can you do to access South African Netflix while abroad?

Watch South African Netflix while abroad

To watch Netflix in South Africa, or South African Netflix, while living somewhere else, this is what you will need to do. First, you will need to get a South African IP address, and then you can restart your browser and visit Netflix.com again and you will be able to watch South African Netflix at once.

To get a South African IP address I personally recommend that you use the services of PrivateVPN (you can use other providers, but they are most likely blocked by Netflix).

Visit PrivateVPN(and watch Netflix right away)

Click the PrivateVPN button above.
Sign up for their services.
Download the PrivateVPN client to your computer or Mac.
Connect to a server in South Africa.
Restart your browser.
Visit Netflix.com.
Enjoy watching South African Netflix while abroad.

I hope you will follow these instructions so that you can watch and enjoy your favorite TV series online. I have tried this myself and it works really great, so give it a try. If you are not satisfied then PrivateVPN has a thirty-day full refund policy, so there is no risk at all involved in trying this.

Great films on Netflix, in South Africa — Watch great films on Netflix, also in South Africa

Are you located in South Africa and want to watch Netflix‘? Have you visited the Netflix website and all you receive is the message that Netflix is unavailable at your location yet? Find out how to sole this and how to get started watching Netflix in South Africa!

The problem as you visit the Netflix website is that they check your current IP address and based on that they also discover your location. Since Netflix is unavailable in South Africa they automatically give you the message that you can not watch Netflix at your destination yet as they see that you have an IP address in South Africa. But, to change the entire thing around you can change your IP address, which will make it possible for you to watch Netflix in South Africa within a few minutes! That might sound hard, but luckily it is very easy to watch Netflix in South Africa, and here are two ways in which you can do so!

Watch Netflix in South Africa – Method 1

You can use a VPN provider named PureVPN. A VPN provider is a company providing you with access to servers all across the world, and once you connect to such as server your online activity will be run through that connection and all your online movements will seem to origin from the server you are connected to. So, if you connect to a PureVPN server in the USA you will get a US IP address and you will be able to watch US Neflix and start your free 30 day trial within seconds. If you already have a Netflix subscription just connect to a server in the nation in which you have your Netflix subscription or in the nation you want to watch Netflix, and you will be able to watch Netflix in any nation and region from South Africa using PureVPN.Visit the PureVPN website(great discounts available right now)

Press the banner above to visit the PureVPN website and get started. PureVPN has a three day full refund policy if you have used less than 500mb on bandwidth.

Watch Netflix in South Africa – Method 2

The second way of watching Netflix in South Africa is somewhat similar. Here you will need to visit the website of Unlocator and sign up for their seven day free trial giving your email address. Once you have done so you can set up Unlocator on your device and once set up you can start watching Netflix in South Africa. If you are satisfied after seven days then you give your payment information and start using the service on a permanent basis.

The prices of Unlocator and PureVPN are somewhat similar, so just visit both websites and use the service that sounds like the best to you!Visit the Unlocator website(and try for free for seven days)

Now you are ready to watch Netflix in South Africa and do not forget that this will also work if you are in other countries and nations, and you can also use either your PureVPN or your Unlocator subscription to jump between the different Netflix regions, meaning that you can watch US Netflix, UK Netflix, Canadian Netflix and Netflix in all sorts of regions with one single Netflix subscription and with one subscription to either Unlocator or PureVPN.

Watch Netflix in Morocco

Posted on December 17, 2014 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment - Last update: September 14, 2018

Morocco is a nation with more than 30 million people living there, and on a warm day (of which there are way to many every year) it can be extremely nice to sit back in a nice chair and watch some Netflix. But, how can you watch Netflix in Morocco?

Netflix is the number one video portal online with thousands of films, series, documentaries and interesting content available, and there are more than 50 million Netflix users registered worldwide. For example in Australia, a nation in which Netflix is unavailable, there are millions of users as well, and just like it is possible to watch Netflix in Australia, it is possible to watch Netflix in Morocco. So, how can this be done? How can you and I watch Netflix in Morocco?

Watch Netflix in Morocco

If you want to watch Netflix in Morocco you will need to trick the system a little bit. Because of copyright laws Netflix is only available in a few selected nations, and even if you for example live in the United States and have an account there, you will soon find out that if you go on a holiday to for example Morocco you will not be able to watch Netflix anyway, no matter if your already existing Netflix account is valid or not. The question is therefore what you can do to fix this problem so that you can watch your already existing Netflix account in Morocco, or if you do not have one yet, what you can do to sign up and start watching right away.

The problem is that Netflix check your location as you visit Netflix.com. If they see that you are located in Morocco you will be given an error message that you can not watch Netflix there. That is why you need to make your browser and Netflix.com believe that you are located in the United States or in the United Kingdom, because then you can start watching Netflix right away. The way to do so is by using the services of a VPN provider, and for this purpose I recommend using HideMyAss, a brilliant service with servers worldwide, meaning that you can use your account as you create it to watch UK Netflix, US Netflix, Irish Netflix and so much more. All you need to do is to sign up to their services and download their VPN client, and then as you connect to one of their servers in the United States (for example) you will be given an American IP address, with which you can visit Netflix.com again, and this time you will not be rejected, but receive a message that will let you use your existing account, or sign up for a free 30-day trial if you do not already have an account.

Based on the fact that HideMyAss also has a thirty day full refund policy this is fact means that you can try this without any risk, because if you are not satisfied with Netflix you can cancel without paying anything within the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with HideMyAss and have used less than 10 GB of bandwidth you can cancel and get your money back anytime within thirty days.

This is really easy and you can find yourself watching Netflix and famous Netflix series such as Lilyhammer, Orange is the New Black, Veggietales and all the other Netflix favorites within shortly.

Best way to watch Netflix in Nigeria

Posted on November 5, 2014 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment - Last update: September 18, 2018

If you live in Nigeria and really want to watch all the films and series available at Netflix, you have already found out a long time back that if you visit Netflix.com in Nigeria you will only get a message telling you that you can not watch Netflix at your location.

After getting that message you might get very discouraged at once, but then you sit down and type down your complaints in Google or in Bing asking for help to find out how you can watch Netflix in Nigeria anyway. It really is a good thing that you have not given up yet, because you are just about to find an answer to your question, meaning that you will soon be able to watch Netflix in Nigeria, at least if you are willing to use a few dollars to do so.

Watch Netflix in Nigeria

To watch Netflix in Nigeria you need to make Netflix.com believe that you are located somewhere else, in a nation where Netflix can be viewed and where people can register themselves as Netflix users. The nation in which Netflix is the most popular worldwide is of course the United States, and then comes nations such as Canada and the United Kingdom afterwards. So, to fix your problem, you need to get an IP address in any of these nations.

[stextbox id=”info” caption=”What is an IP address, and how does this work?”]This section is only if you want to actually how a VPN works. If you are not interested, and just want the solution, jump to the next section and skip this one. An IP address is your digital address. Everytime you visit a website your digital address, your IP address, is given to the website, and thus webmasters can discriminate and provide different content to different people, based on their geographical location. That is what Netflix does. However, a VPN, a Virtual Private Network, is something that messes things up, because as you connect to a server provided by a VPN provider, let us say in the United Kingdom, all your traffic on the Internet will be directed through that server, and thus all your online activity will seem to origin from that server, and not from your actual location. In that way you will surf with an IP address in England, and suddenly you can visit Netflix.com and sign up for a free 30-day trial.[/stextbox]

Lets get started watching Netflix in Nigeria

Now that you have the technical background, it is time to get some action. The best VPN provider for the purpose of watching Netflix in for example Canada, UK or in the USA is HideMyAss. They have servers in all these nations, and more than 100 other nations. If you visit their website you sign up for their services, download their VPN client and connect to a server in USA/UK/Canada, and visit Netflix.com again (you will need to restart your browser first). You are now ready to watch Netflix in Nigeria.

If you should not be satisfied, HideMyAss has a thirty day full refund policy, meaning that you will get all your money back, so there is no risk in trying this at all! Enjoying watching Netflix, and if you have comments, just write!
