There are lots of movies and TV shows on Australian Netflix that you cannot find elsewhere. What makes this even more annoying is the fact that lots of blockbusters and movies hyped up on social media are added to Netflix in Australia before they come to Netflix in any other country. At the time of writing, the newest Aquaman movie has been added to Netflix in Australia as the only country in the world. What can you do about that? Is it possible to watch TV shows and movies on Netflix in Australia elsewhere in the world? If you use the right VPN service it is!
It is quite obvious that you need to be in Australia to see the movies and TV shows on Netflix in Australia. Not everyone give this much consideration, but what you will see as you launch your Netflix application or visit the Netflix website in your browser depends greatly on where you are located. Of course, there are movies and TV series created by Netflix to which they have the broadcasting rights worldwide. These you will see no matter where in the world you are located as you go to the Netflix website. But, then there are people controlling Netflix in the different countries, and they constantly negotiate with broadcasting companies and copyright holders about whether or not they can buy the rights for certain material so that it can be seen on Netflix in that given country during a set period of time. For this, they pay money, and they buy the rights to show content in that given country. That is why you can watch a movie on Netflix in the United States or in Canada that you cannot find in Australia. Or that is why you will see lots of Swedish content on Netflix in Sweden which you are unable to stream if you live in Mexico, or in Norway (a country sharing border with Sweden).
I have good news... the leadership of Netflix in Australia are doing a great job acquiring awesome blockbuster moveis and great TV series. This is fantastic for the people in Australia, but if you live elsewhere, you might be sad that you cannot see the same material at your location. Then I have one more good news to share with you... if you use the VPN services of NordVPN, you can still watch the films, documentaries, and TV series on Netflix in Australia, even though you are elsewhere in the world.
This is how you can watch Australian Netflix with a VPN.
As I mentioned, it is crucial that you use the VPN services of NordVPN. Why is that? VPN providers have servers in lots of countries and they provide you with local IP addresses in all those nations. But, to hinder people from abusing VPN services, Netflix and other streaming services often create lists of known IP addresses used by VPN providers, and then they block requests from those addresses. As a result, even if you have an Australian IP address, you will not see the real and truthful content of Australian Netflix. Instead, you will only see the Netflix original content to which they have broadcasting rights all across the world.
NordVPN is different, because they are working hard and daily to keep their IP addresses in such a state that they will give users access to Australian Netflix. But, it does more than that. You can use the IP addresses provided by NordVPN in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Mexico, Japan, and several other countries to watch local Netflix content in those countries as well.
NordVPN can be used on all the big operating systems and platforms, and they also have applications for Android and iOS, and dedicated extensions you can install directly in your web-browser. If you still don't like it, cancel your subscription within 30 days and you will be entitled to a full refund.
What should I do now?
- Click the link above to get a big NordVPN discount (especially if you buy a long-term subscription).
- Download and install the NordVPN application on all your devices (that you want to use with Netflix).
- Start the application and connect to a server in Australia. This takes a few seconds and you will quickly see that you have an Australian IP address.
- Close your Netflix application (or browser) if it has been open. Restart the Netflix application or your browser and go to the Netflix website.
- You can now see all the content on Netflix in Australia, just like an authentic person living in Melbourne, Sydney, or among kangaroos and snakes elsewhere in Australia.
It is extremely easy, and I actually believe that most grandmothers aged 70 or more should be able to do this as well, not just tech-freaks sitting in front of their computer all day long. And by the way, when you sit down during the next family meal and tell people how you "hack the system" and watch content on Netflix in Australia, you will for sure be the coolest person in the room for a couple of minutes.
I have written lots of articles here dealing with similar topics, so if you want to read more about VPN services and how they can give you lots of benefits online, read my other articles. Did you know that you can buy subscriptions to games and useful applications cheaper once you have a VPN application? I have used this to get cheaper Duolingo Super and to buy much cheaper "money" in Stumble Guys, and those are only some of the benefits I have experienced.
A few more words about NordVPN.
NordVPN is one of the biggest VPN providers in the world, and they have more than 10,000,000 subscribers worldwide to their different services. It is a well-known company with a good reputation, and they are also sponsoring famous football clubs such as Liverpool FC in England. You can use the same NordVPN subscription on six devices simultaneously, and there are no limitations regarding how much bandwidth you can use (which means you can upload and download data with no limit). In addition, you can connect to all their servers (found in more than 60 countries) without limit. If you think quickly, you have probably understood already that this opens up lots of doors as you can unblock geographically blocked content in all those countries with this service. And do not forget, a VPN will protect you online as it encrypts your data and hides your activities from people who might want to spy on what you are doing and the information you are sending across the world wide web.
