How to watch UK Netflix from abroad using StrongVPN

One of the best VPNs that you can use to watch UK Netflix from abroad is StrongVPN. We’ve been using this VPN service for almost a year now and so far, we really don’t have anything to complain about. It provides good speed, security, and reliability. On top of that, its Android app is easy to use even for a first timer. In this tutorial, we’ll show you the two ways to install StrongVPN on your Android and use it to access Netflix for UK.

Keep in mind that as long as you created your Netflix account in the UK using a UK IP address and payment method, you can access UK Netflix in Europe even without a VPN. If you are travelling within the boundaries of the EU, all you have to do is to use UK Netflix as you would at home. You don’t need a VPN at all. However, if you wish to access local Netflix catalogue, like say, when you’re in France, then you’ll have to use a VPN for that. The April 2018 EU regulation called Cross-border portability of online content services allows UK users to continue watching UK Netflix outside the United Kingdom as long as they are within the EU.

How to watch UK Netflix from abroad using StrongVPN | VPN to unlock Netflix

If you find yourself abroad (outside Europe) and wanting to watch UK Netflix, the best thing that you can do is use a VPN service like StrongVPN. It’s a fast, reliable VPN that has proven an effective method to bypass Netflix geo-restriction. Follow the steps below on how to install StrongVPN on your Android. For demonstration purposes, we use a Galaxy Note10 in this guide.

1. If you don’t have a StrongVPN subscription, visit their main website and get the deal you want using a web browser on your device.
2. StrongVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee so be sure to tap on Join Now button to avail of this deal.
3. Choose your plan and create your account.
4. Afterwards, select the payment method you want.
5. Once you have created your StrongVPN account, open the Google Play Store app. 
6. In the search box, type in “StrongVPN.”
7. Select StrongVPN – Unlimited Privacy.
8. Tap on INSTALL button to install it on your device.
9. Wait for your Android to download StrongVPN.
10. Click on OPEN button to install the app.
11. Once installed, the StrongVPN icon will be displayed on the device’s screen. Tap on the icon to open the app.
12. Type your StrongVPN username and password, and tap on SIGN IN button. 
13. Your current IP address and time elapsed will be displayed on the top-end on the right side of the screen. Select your preferred location from our servers list. Since you’ll be using StrongVPN to watch UK Netflix from abroad, tap BEST AVAILABLE LOCATION.
14. Select a UK City from the list. 
15. Tap on the CONNECT button.
16. If the default warning pops up for Connection request, just tap OK. This is generic warning in Android devices if there’s a detected attempt to connect to a VPN service.
17. You should now that StrongVPN is now connected to your selected server. The location icon represented by the national flag of your home location in the map will move to your desired location and display that country’s national flag icon. If you want to undo the action, simply tap the CANCEL button if you want to change the server or stop the process.

Keep in mind there’s a constant cat-and-mouse relationship between Netflix and VPN providers. If the server you’ve selected no longer allows you to watch UK Netflix, simply change the server and you should be fine. 

To change your StrongVPN server:

1. Open your StrongVPN Application and click the “Location” button (may also indicate “Best Available Location“)
2. Select the preferred server location by clicking its name in the locations list. Please note, you can use the search bar on top to narrow down the search. Click Save to apply the change.
3. Click Connect button to start StrongVPN connection to the new location.
