Netflix continues to be Kenya’s most widely used streaming service for movies and TV shows, despite having lost many subscribers recently. If you have a Netflix account, you can access all the content in the country. However, because of licensing issues, you may not access some movies and TV shows tailored for a different country. But there’s a way around that; through a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
This guide will show you how to use a VPN to watch Netflix content meant for another country in Kenya. Please note that this is against Netflix’s terms and conditions. Using a VPN to get around geo-restrictions on Netflix may lead to account termination.
What is a VPN?
A VPN is a secured private network within a public network like the internet. It routes all your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel, and you can use it to hide your IP address. You can also use a VPN to increase online privacy and anonymity or to get around location-based censorship and blocking.
There are many great VPN applications you can use to mask your location and access a wide range of geo-restricted Netflix content in Kenya. You simply have to download and install them on your PC, smartphone, or tablet, then change some settings, and enjoy watching.
