Change your IP location. Set up IPVanish.

Bring IPVanish into your Netflix viewing setup: choose your server country, connect and then open Netflix on your device. IPVanish changes your public IP location and encrypts the connection to its servers.

Choose a country in IPVanish, connect, then open your streaming app. The service sees the VPN server’s IP location instead of your usual one. That can help you access location-dependent services where your subscription and the provider’s rules allow it, while encrypting traffic between your device and the VPN server.

Affiliate disclosure: we may earn a commission if you buy through this link, at no extra cost to you. Check the current plan price and renewal terms before purchasing.
How to set up IPVanish for streaming
  1. Check your viewing option. Choose the broadcaster and plan for your event or title from the viewing options above.
  2. Install and sign in. Choose your IPVanish plan, then install the IPVanish app from your device’s app store and sign in. Our Android TV setup guide explains the steps for compatible TV boxes.
  3. Choose a location and connect. Select a server in the country you want to connect through. Wait until IPVanish confirms the connection.
  4. Open your streaming app. Sign in to the broadcaster separately and open the event or title. Your VPN subscription does not include a TV subscription, sports pass or pay-per-view purchase.

Check your screen supports Netflix

Netflix supports a range of TVs, phones, tablets, streaming players and consoles. Your particular device must support the Netflix app; a computer can use a supported browser.

  1. Check the Netflix device guide for your exact TV or streaming player.
  2. Use the instructions for that device to open or install Netflix.

Start watching on a computer

A supported web browser provides another route when you want to watch on a computer.

  1. Open netflix.com in a supported browser on your Mac, Windows PC or Chromebook.
  2. Check Netflix’s system requirements if playback does not start.

Install Netflix on Fire TV

Netflix documents an installation route from the Fire TV home screen. Have your account details ready before opening the app.

  2. Open the Netflix result and choose Free or Download. Once installation finishes, choose Open and follow the onscreen instructions.

Find apps from the Apps tab

You can also browse the Apps tab rather than searching by name. Check the app details and any purchase screen before continuing.
