Use Netflix with Cyberghost VPN - how it works
If you want to use Netflix's US offering in Germany, you need VPN software such as Cyberghost VPN. We show you how to use the software correctly.
Cyberghost VPN: Stream US version of Netflix
- Netflix is now available in numerous countries, but the streaming rights are negotiated and acquired for each country. With a VPN provider, you can bypass country restrictions, but it has become increasingly difficult in recent months.
- Netflix has already blacklisted all VPN providers' servers. It is therefore difficult to access the US version of Netflix from Germany. With free VPN tools, access has become almost impossible. There are still a few chances with the paid version of Cyberghost VPN.
- Go to the "PrivacyControl" category in the settings and activate the option "Set browser language to the language of the simulated country". Also remove the information about your operating system and browser here. Activate the "Content Blocker" options below.
- If you switch to the "Connection" tab above, you can "Force the CyberGhost DNS server" and "Deactivate the IPv6 protocol". In addition, activate the "Anti-Tracking" option in the main window.
