SAVE 85%: Access extra Netflix libraries from around the world with Private Internet Access. A two-year subscription to Private Internet Access is on sale for £43.94 and includes an extra three months for free — 85% off for a limited time.


Netflix recognises where you are connecting from when you visit, and provides access to the library of content from that location. This can be fun when you're travelling around the world, but sometimes you'll want a little more control over the situation.

If you're interested in accessing UK Netflix from anywhere in the world, we have lined up the simple steps you need to take. It's really not that complicated.

How to unblock UK Netflix for free

VPNs are popular cybersecurity tools that provide valuable protection for your data and identity by encrypting your traffic. They can also hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in another location, as a means of providing anonymity for users.

This process can also be used to bypass geo-restrictions and unlock extra content from around the world. Follow these simple steps to watch UK Netflix from anywhere in the world:

  1. Sign up to a streaming-friendly VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Log in to Netflix to watch content from the UK library

The process is quick and easy, and thanks to money-back guarantees, you can unblock UK Netflix without actually committing with your cash. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can access UK Netflix for free if you are just travelling away from home for a short period.

What is the best Netflix VPN?

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs that can unblock Netflix with ease, but Private Internet Access might be the best for a number of reasons. Private Internet Access subscribers get strong connection speeds, around the clock customer support, access to secure servers in 84 countries, email breach monitoring, real-time malware protection, and split tunnelling. You can also connect up to 10 devices with the same account, which is useful if you stream on a lot of devices.
