Streaming VPNs: Solution to Access Geo-Restricted Streaming Services

[EmDee8907]

I have surfshark does pretty good(Max, netflix) but amazon. i have never been able to get prime to unlock for other locations. I see someone mentioned windscribe I may have to go back to them and see if that will work.

Please note that attempting to bypass geographic restrictions on streaming services may violate their terms of service. Always make sure you're in compliance with the terms and conditions of the services you're using. Additionally, streaming services are actively working to prevent VPN usage, so success can vary over time.

[SIZE=16px]Have you ever met the error message saying that the content isn’t available in your region when trying to play a video on YouTube, or watch a Netflix show that you have no idea that it is not intended for your country?

Can anyone get it working with Netflix Korea? I've tried three separate VPNs
- Express VPN. That didn't work with Netflix Korea at all, using either the Browser plugin. or the Windows level VPN application
- Pure VPN. That didn't work with Netflix Korea at all, using either the Browser plugin. or the Windows level VPN application
- NordVPN. This worked in Chrome using the Chrome plugin and the Windows level VPN app, but with Streamfab, I couldn't get it working at all. It logged me out if I had the VPN connected, and wouldn't let me log in again.

I wish there was a way to get the Streamfab Chrome internal Browser to use the Chrome VPN plugin, same as the browser.

Depends on how you see it.

But you can use ExpressVPN or Nord etc for that matter to circumvent the geo-blocking itself.

But and this is the big but. As you see in the text that you quoted. You need to sign up from a USA address and also have a US Credit Card from a place like.

After this you can use the VPN of your choice including ExpressVPN to access US Amazon.

I just used windscribe VPN for my amazon.

ExpressVPN confirms on their own homepage, that circumventing Geo-blocking does not work at Amazon:

Quote:
"ExpressVPN works seamlessly with Prime Video to deliver streaming content without sacrificing privacy, security, or video quality.
To stream Prime Video content from the U.S. or UK, for instance, you will need a U.S. or UK-based address to create an Amazon Prime account in those countries, and a VPN then ensures you can stream securely."

Subject: FAQ: How to watch Amazon Prime Video with a VPN
Under subject there: Does Amazon Prime work with a VPN?

It confirms what i also have heard from people lots of other places regarding Amazon and that you can't circumvent Geo-blocking at Amazon.
So this means that Wilson.Wang has to make some changes to his VPN list above and add a huge red NO to ExpressVPN regarding Amazon.

use dns4me proxy you can pick and choose which hbo regions to use etc

[greekguy80]

ExpressVPN does not work with Amazon, tried multiple of their servers.
When i drag the mouse over titles, a warning box shows up about the usage of VPN or proxy and i'm being told to disconnect it and try again.

I used Windscribe VPN for amazon as my expressVPN doesnt work. I first used Express VPN as the other VPNs i use never wanted to work but ExpressVPN worked. Now ExpressVPN doesn't work and i came across Windscribe VPN actually made it work.

try New Jersey 3 or 1

New Jersey 3 is already the one i use on Peacock to circumvent the geo-blocking, does like all the ones i tested (incl N.J 1) also not work at Amazon
But i have digged a little deeper about Amazon and found out that according to lots of people, then ones account gets locked to the country you live in.
So that means its not possible to circumvent geo-blocking at Amazon, because it uses your registration to determine what you are allowed to access.

ProtonVPN works amazingly well and very fast for me on a fiber gigabit line with wireguard set. Very rarely do I run into an occasion where I have to change IP addresses due to it not working. About 98% of the IPs on proton vpn service work flawlessly for me.

I've seen on other sites that Xfinity internet doesn't allow VPN connections, does anyone know if this is true? Thnky in advance.

yes it's true yoy need a smart dns proxy to get around that
