Since Netflix expanded worldwide early last year, Ghanaians have had access to some excellent original content and a range of TV series and movies. However, Netflix ran into a problem. Many series and movies have already been syndicated to local TV here, and they don’t have the rights to broadcast this content.
Of course, there are ways to get around this, and access the full catalogue of shows available in the US and elsewhere.
Here is how to change Netflix to American catalogue.
Use a VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is basically software that routes your internet connection through a foreign server. Many people use it for security purposes – it blocks hackers and any other surveillance from tracking your online activity. After all, if they don’t know where you are, they can’t identify who you are.
While proxies do the same, VPNs are more popular since they encrypt your data, adding an extra layer of protection from identity theft.
Since this software routes your connection through a server that can be outside of the country – in America, for example – it can trick Netflix into thinking that you’re in the US, and you’ll get access to the full catalogue.
Not long after Netflix expanded, however, they took measures to stop this.
