Trying to watch Netflix in Macau is not normally a particularly fun task, mainly because you can’t through normal methods. While Netflix has released some international servers, they are very limited in the amount of content that they provide, and even these are not available if you live in Macao. So, what do you do about it?

Well, perhaps the first question really is, do you want to watch Netflix? Most people thing that downloading pirated movies is much better, and much cheaper. This isn’t actually true. Firstly, there is always a risk when downloading illegal files, because you are breaking the law. But, even if you aren’t worried about getting caught, there are other aspects to consider. For example, when you download a movie, you have to wait to the download is completely finished before you can watch it. Sometimes it will corrupt in the last little part of downloading and you have to go through it all again.

Another part is that when you download files you risk getting a virus or malware. Even if you catch it immediately, viruses have the potential to significantly screw up your computer and can make it almost impossible to recover your data. With Netflix, you have most of the benefits that you get downloading movies, but you don’t have the risk. You can watch movies as they are downloading, and the selection of titles that are available is substantial.

When you try to access the Netflix servers in Macau, you will find that you don’t immediately have much success. This is because of a process known as geo-blocking or regional restriction. The website that you are trying to access looks at your IP address. This gives it a clear indication of where you are, and if you aren’t in the right location for the site, it will not let you access the content.

The best tool to get around this problem is a VPN. This will allow you to connect to a server within the United States, which will mask your IP address. Netflix then believes that you are in the United States, and you have access to every episode and movie that is available on Netflix Instant.

Using a VPN for Netflix in Macau, is very effective and isn’t that difficult to set up. You can do it even if you do not know much about computers. This method lets you avoid any form of local censorship, and you are able to watch the new releases that the United States Netflix receives, without waiting for them to be available locally, or on download sites.
