Since its beginnings, Netflix has grown from being a small company in a sea of rivals to one that has flourished despite anyone’s predictions. Despite this growth, or perhaps because of it, Netflix is still strongly American based. The thing is, you aren’t meant to watch Netflix in Maldives. Like many places in the world, Netflix does not offer their service to this region.

But this doesn’t have to be the end of it. It is possible to unblock the site by using an American IP address. This gives you access to all of the content that is available on Netflix Instant. Your IP address is connected to your computer through your internet service provider. You can change IP addresses easily enough, or even use a rotating one, but this is irrelevant if all of the IP addresses that you use are from Maldives.

The trick is a service call VPN. This is an acronym for Virtual Private Network, and it is a very effective program. Personally, I love using it because it is very secure, so I don’t have to worry about IP address tracking, or any of my information getting stolen. It has another role too. When you use a VPN server, it hides your own IP address, masking it with one from the region of the server.

This makes it really easy to get an American IP address. Once you have one, the fun really begins. The first benefit, of course, is that you can now access Netflix without any problems. You won’t get blocked because of your location. The site won’t even have any idea where you are. You can watch all of the streaming content that Netflix has to offer, and believe me this is a lot.

Netflix isn’t the only site that blocks you based on your location, and you may have noticed that if you try to view content on sites such as HBO or Hulu, your usage is restricted also. Using a VPN for Netflix gets around this problem too. Indeed, have all the same advantages that a person in America has when they browse online. This a great way to access Netflix in Maldives. The benefits of this are numerous. For example, the content on Netflix is often different than you can access locally, you don’t have to worry about language difficulties and you do not need to wait for the program you want to come on.
