Remove geographic blocking with a VPN service

Are you a big fan of a specific series and have you been waiting for months for the new season of your favourite series to be online? Then there is a good chance that you will be disappointed when your new season finally arrives on Netflix. With new series, it is often the case that the latest seasons can first be seen in America, after which you can only watch the same season in the Netherlands a few months later.

The geographic block: a brief introduction

The reason that you cannot yet watch your favourite series in the Netherlands if it is already online in the US has to do with the phenomenon ‘geographic blocking‘ . This means that certain products, services, websites and series can be used in certain geographical areas, but are not available outside those areas. If you have an American IP address, you can simply watch your favourite series. However, because you have a Dutch IP address, you have to wait until your series becomes available in our country.

The message you often see with a geographic block is as follows:

“This episode is subject to a rights restriction. Therefore, you are not allowed to watch this episode from your geographic location.”

Bypass geographic blocking: it is possible

In the case of a series that can already be admired in the US and has not yet been released in the Netherlands, many people wait patiently until the series is also launched in the Netherlands. This is of course a possibility, but it may mean that you have to wait several months before you can finally see the new season of your favourite series. Don’t feel like this? Then don’t wait until the series is also available for your Dutch IP address, but bypass the geographical block.

You can easily bypass the geographic blocking of a service like Netflix by purchasing a VPN service or Virtual Private Network. You can read in the paragraph below what exactly this works and how you can use this network to watch your favourite series in the Netherlands sooner. See also: Watch Dutch TV abroad.

Bypass all blocks with a VPN service

A Virtual Private Network is a secured network that you can use on your computer or laptop. It is in fact an extra encrypted internet connection, which you can use in everyday life to surf, email and download extra securely.

GOOSE VPN is de perfecte oplossing om Nederlandse tv te kijken als ik op reis ben.

What many do not know is that a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is also extremely suitable for bypassing geographical blocks. If you have a Virtual Private Network, you can use an American IP address. For example, if you use this IP address to surf the Netflix website, it will seem as if you are doing this from the US. The result: you get the US Netflix offer while you are in the Netherlands. No more geographic blocks, but the possibility to watch all your favourite series and the new seasons of these series whenever you want.
