How to Watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019

Bru. Of course, you want to watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019. You only have 10.15% of the American Netflix movie library when you are in South Africa. It’s not that you don’t have any content, but considering not every title is great and the fact that everyone has a different taste, a lot of the titles will not be good enough for you. Granted, Netflix is slightly cheaper than in some other countries when you are in South Africa, but if you consider the ratio of how much content you are missing out on versus how much you are paying, you will realize that even though are paying slightly less, you are still overpaying.

In this article, post, blog, whatever you want to call it, we will show you how to watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019, but overall how to access the most Netflix locations on the market. As yes, the American Netflix does have the most content on the market, but it doesn’t have everything. For instance, the UK has the show called Power meanwhile the US doesn’t. Oh, and if you are not in South America and want to know how to watch Netflix regardless of where you are, we made a post on that too, although the same principles apply everywhere.

Why You Can’t Watch the Content That’s on American Netflix in South Africa in 2019 in the First Place?

It goes down to rights.

Netflix needs to buy rights to show movies and TV shows. And while Netflix can and does buy some shows and movies in region packages, while some of its content is also fully owned by Netflix, some TV channels or other services have rights to show certain content in a certain country meaning that Netflix can’t show it. And sometimes it’s just too expensive for a specific audience, as don’t forget, American Netflix might have the most content, but it also has the most users.

How to Watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019

It’s actually not hard to watch American Netflix in South Africa.

The only thing you need to do to watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019 is to trick Netflix into thinking that you are in the US. And that’s not hard.

The only hard thing is finding a tool that can trick Netflix.

A VPN is the type of tool you need to use. The problem?

Netflix crackdown VPN services because of pressure from right holders. That means that a major majority of VPN services don’t work with Netflix. And forget about free VPN services working with Netflix. These are the easiest to crackdown and are also the most used thus the best to takedown.

PrivateVPN? It’s at a price point where the cost of the South African + PrivateVPN will be around the same price as just getting the likes of American Netflix, but it doesn’t just support American Netflix, it supports the most Netflix regions on the market. Comparitech did a test consisting of 5,000 manual tests where PrivateVPN came out on top beating all of its competition.

To watch American Netflix in South Africa in 2019, you download PrivateVPN, connect to an American server that supports Netflix, and that’s it. That will allow you to access 90% of that missing movie library as far as American Netflix goes, and even more when you connect to the regions that PrivateVPN also works with.

What Else Can You Access with This Method in South Africa?

Did you ever hear of Hulu? It’s great for TV shows but only works in the US. Amazon Prime? The widest library is in the US. DAZN is a service that works in the likes of Canada that essentially is the Netflix of live sports. BBC iPlayer? HBO?

PrivateVPN works with all of these. And we have blog posts on all of these. Perhaps not directly intended for South Africa but nevertheless, all of these methods will work in South Africa.

Oh, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
