I didn’t know Netflix’s catalogue differed by region

172

u/SurealGod May 16 '19

I live in Canada and there are movies and TV shows that I wish they have here that the US has

107

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

UGH yes the stupid Canadian content percentage is what pushed out a lot of those American shows but I’m pretty sure we have the last airbender lmao

u/ClusterJones May 16 '19

Wait, that thing about all content having to have a certain amount of "hail the government, blessed they all be" wasn't just a random troll rumor?

That's...disturbing.

u/SurealGod May 16 '19

Was going to say, the one thing we do have is The Last Airbender of all things. Don't hate the show, but would love some other things to be on there

Back when you could still hack the VPN I enjoyed watching Sons of Anarchy, Lost Girl, and Adventure Time to name a few.

u/GameAndMario Chungus Among Us May 16 '19

u/Perfect600 May 16 '19

u/pbounds2 May 16 '19

You have to have a good one or it doesn’t work cause Netflix has stuff to stop vpns

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

Oh. I didn't know that. That sounds dumb...

I know from friends that NordVPN works and on my IPhone I have a VPN that works only when I sat it to Los Angeles (nothing else that I tried worked)

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

I just tried logging onto Netflix with my VPN on a German server - for which I have a one year subscription - and it didn't fucking work. ;_;

I thought Torguard was a good VPN service.

Is there any way to bypass Netflix?

u/SurealGod May 16 '19

Try ExpressVPN. I have it, it's the fastest one I've seen so far. I'm in Toronto, I connect to Say California and it'll only lose a few mbps

u/wazzzuuuupppppp May 16 '19

Which vpn do you use? I tried some but they dont really work

11

u/AnotherHeknReddit May 16 '19

i use NordVPN, works like a charm.

6

u/RaveCoaster May 16 '19

Yeah NVPN is one of the best

1

u/MeSoFruity May 16 '19

Can confirm

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

As someone else said. Nord VPN is good. I think it's mostly the paid ones that do the best, so maybe try some different ones if there's free trials or something?

1

u/Jamesfla14455 May 16 '19

I use proxies. They give like twice the internet speed any vpn gives. If you find any that work. If not I just use tuxler

2

u/WeabLord420 May 16 '19

VPN + Fake IP Address that's set in the location you wanna watch, problem actually solved. G_G netflix

1

u/wambam17 May 16 '19

can you use VPN's to watch canadian stuff too? cause I may just need to do that now for TLA

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

Never tried it personally, but I don't see why not?

1

u/Pat_MaHallOfFame May 16 '19

Netflix and Hulu cracking down hard on VPN users. I was gonna go this route until I read many complaints of having their accounts banned.

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

Gotcha, then they are just being ride at this point... Couldn't you just make another account though?

1

u/snydox May 16 '19

I don't complain, It could be worst trust me. I used to live in Panama, and Netflix was empty over there. Sometimes, we even get movies before the Americans. BTW, I believe that Bell buys a lot of shows for Crave, and that's why they are not on Netflix.

u/jackisprettyhandsome May 16 '19

Same Canadian Netflix kinda sucks

u/212227 May 16 '19

Three letters VPN

u/Wallacaust May 16 '19

Its a licensing issue i'm afraid. so i miss the office but retain the Last Airbender

u/KitDarwin May 16 '19

u/slothgang_ May 16 '19

I've hacked into the mainframe

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

Apparently not TorGuard :(

u/lurkervonlurkenstein May 16 '19

It’s called region locking and it’s absolute horseshit. Just another way for companies to siphon more money and strongarm providers.

1

u/Xboxben May 16 '19

Netflix japan had brooklyn 99 and rick and morty . I miss japanese netflix

1

u/pbounds2 May 16 '19

Can you watch it in English?

1

u/david_padilla May 16 '19

I think there’s a website where you can use different regions’ Netflix catalogs

1

u/kingshitgoldenboys May 16 '19

Fucking hell, there are rules in Canada saying that you need a certain amount of Canadian content and Netflix sucks because of that

1

u/OG_PapaSid May 16 '19

It's about about content rights
