Category: Netflix
It’s hard enough to get a new streaming service that comes out every week to watch new content. It feels even more like a punch when you realize that some shows are being locked away from you because you’re in the wrong country like the UK. Such as The Office, which is exclusive to Peacock in the United States even though it is literally is a remake of a British show.
Thanks to Smart DNS Proxy VPN, you can use your existing Netflix account to enjoy exclusive Netflix content restricted to the UK.
Which VPN to use?
But, unfortunately, free VPNs don’t work on Netflix, so you will have to get a paid VPN. We’d recommend using Smart DNS Proxy’s SmartVPN.
All you have to do is sign up for a Smart DNS Proxy VPN by clicking on this link in the description of the video and download the app on your device.
