The best working Netflix VPN in June 2021

June 23, 2021 by staff Leave a Comment

Netflix and VPN? It might not make sense to most since it is available now in almost every country. However, some people might still ask for the best VPNs for Netflix. Now, why is that so? Plenty of popular TV shows and Movies are often restricted in your area, or might not be available altogether.

Netflix has to place Geo-restrictions to comply with copyright and licensing land laws. But you do not have to wait around paying for Netflix, yet missing on your favorite shows. Therefore, there some really good VPNs out there. You might find some free VPNs, but they cause ‘Netflix Proxy Detected’ error every once in a while. So what are the good catches without jeopardizing your account? Stay tuned for that.

The biggest online entertainment service provider, Netflix is more famous than any entertainment provider with a pool of millions of subscribers worldwide. Netflix started expanding its business only a couple of years ago and started offering its services in more than 190 countries. When Netflix announced its expansion, we know most of you were over the moon for finally getting access to all of your free movies and dramas. There are certain content and database of Netflix which is restricted because of the geography. You might be surprised at how much of the binge-worthy content has been limited in our area. (yup! That happens even with Netflix).

So while all of your favorite content might not be easily accessible to you and your besties, you can still tip-toe around Netflix in finding the right content for you using everyone’s all-time favorite VPN (Virtual Private Network).

So why does this happen, you say? Well like any other strategic media and entertainment developer, Netflix has its legal and/or strategic reasons to Geo-restrict some content this might be frustrating for us, yes but we urge you to not bang your Netflix across the wall. Because of various reasons, privacy and other continent based reasons Netflix chooses to make certain content unavailable to you. (chill, it is okay, we have all of your fixes).

Because of how servers work worldwide, there are some credible VPNs out there which will help you relocate your location to a server somewhere around the globe. They use multiple servers for such purpose which comes with many restrictions and the threat of being detected. Well, what is scarier than how Netflix is invested in getting their hands on such servers and blocking any VPN server detected. It spends a great sum of its revenue in doing so. So yes folks, we have to be extra sneaky and careful here.

But worry not, there are some very reliable VPNs which even Netflix fails to recognize. So before jumping to providing you with the right content, we will help you understand why VPNs are such an important must-have thing you should have with your Netflix. Apart from that the extended information on everything you need to know about VPN.

The first and BEST question you may want to ask, So Why Does Netflix Geo-Restrict Some Content?

Before you feel like throwing tantrums at Netflix for being such a mean network by not giving full access. Let us clear this out for you by letting you know that geo-restriction is definitely not their business strategy. I mean what would they get out of it if some content is available on their website yet it is not fully viewed. They stand to provide the best marketing and best content available worldwide, so as to gain more viewers and increase their audience. So think about the better aspect!

The majority of the studios and production houses have various licensing contracts in different countries. Similarly, when it comes to Netflix, some of the content might be restricted on some other platform. For example, what Netflix USA shows will be restricted in the UK due to the licensing issues. This situation makes using a VPN handier than usual.

Another way of putting it is that if a satellite channel has secured or constructed particular copyrights in a region. The satellite might not be able to broadcast certain particular shows again because of the copyright issues especially when it comes to streaming via Netflix. Since Netflix is based in USA it automatically has the largest content library because of its headquarters situated in the USA.

Whenever you log in via a server, your ISP assigns a unique IP address to your internet connection. IP addresses are designed in a way where it not only identifies your country but also the region from where the content is being searched. Some particular IP addresses even tell who the particular address belongs to. Often these IP addresses are used by Netflix to route the content specific to your region and in most cases, it is because of these IP addresses. Because of these IP addresses, you aren’t able to access the USA Netflix library until a VPN is activated to change your IP address.

Not All VPNs Can Stream Netflix’s Geo-Restricted Content

Since we have been talking about VPNs from the start, let us give you little insights on how VPNs work and having VPN is important. The VPN can surpass the geo-restriction and allow you to stream Geo-restricted content easily available via a VPN. So how does it actually work? If you wish to access Netflix USA, then you would need to have access to a server that is based on the USA. Your original IP address will be masked by activating this VPN and will trick the connection in believing that the access request has been made from within the US.

However, there are several VPNs out there and not all of them are good enough to mask the IP address especially if they are the free ones. Therefore, you should discard any VPNs that come off as free versions. (We know you might not want an extra burden of money on your pocket, but believe us when we say this, this post will be worth the effort).

Netflix is widely known for its work and securing their addresses from end to end subscriptions. Since Netflix is already on their tail to catch all such VPNs. We have dug out these three commendable VPNs. The most effective VPN for Netflix are;

  • IPVanish
  • Express VPN
  • NordVPN

How Does Netflix Detect a VPN: Quick Look?

However, you are connected to a VPN server, a new IP address is provided to your connection. We know this much this far. However, there are thousands of people using the same server at any given time. since it is more convenient and light on the pocket for the VPN providers. They lower the subscription fee and get more users to use their servers. This also keeps you anonymous because of many users on the main server.

Since when it comes to Netflix, a lot of Netflix users are logged into a particular server at any given time. since when many such servers get on Netflix’s radar, they are easily able to detect what is happening and how a VPN might be in action. The company puts a certain algorithm into action and voila! Your servers and everything is exposed. The IP address is instantly blocked and you are no longer able to stream region-restricted content. That is when you come across an error Netflix Proxy Detected.

This is how you come under Netflix’s VPN buster radar.

So how have these VPNs topped our lists?

IPVanish

Servers: IPVanish might come off as a weaker server provider as compared to the other two however, they still have many servers working. Unfortunately, IPVanish has been the biggest victim of the Netflix VPN crusade. However, as compared o many other unreliable sources of accessing Netflix, this one is preferably much better.

Price: just like the other two VPNs, IPVanish is available in 3 packages.

  • The Monthly package: Paid $10 per month
  • The Quarterly package: Billed $26.99 per three months

The biggest percentage of its servers are in the US. And surprisingly many servers are just for Netflix VPN service. They have a very secured back to back linking followed by a security team that is helping in maintain these servers without getting caught.

Price: express VPN ha hefty price and does not come off as a cheap VPN service. But is it worth its price? Most definitely yes it is. ExpressVPN is available in three pricing tiers;

  • The Monthly package: $12.95 per month
  • The Half-Yearly package: $9.99 per month
  • The Best Value for Money: $6.67 per month

Platforms: since Netflix is supported on all the platforms, ExpressVPN is also available on all the platforms as well.

Get Rid of FireStick Remote Issues

June 23, 2021 by staff Leave a Comment

The other day I was binge-watching my favorite TV Show using the FireStick device and somewhere in the middle, I decided to have a snack so to pause the show I picked up the FireStick remote and was annoyed that it didn’t respond. I kept pressing pushing the buttons constantly but the FireStick Remote Issue did not get resolved. In fact, even rebooting the Amazon FireStick device didn’t work.

After constantly trying to fix the trouble I finally realized the issue is with the FireStick Remote. Given the circumstances that this can happen to anyone, it is important to know how to fix the FireStick Remote Issues.

Below we have compiled a list of causes and solutions to the FireStick Remote Issues that can generally occur to anyone and applying the given fixes can easily resolve the trouble at hand so you get an uninterrupted source of Amazon FireStick entertainment.

What to do with the FireStick Remote Issues?

Following are some of the causes of the FireStick Remote Issues. You must thoroughly go through from each one of them and see if any solution works out for you.

1.     FireStick Remote Batteries: Check them Instantly!

The remote for Amazon FireStick runs on battery and once it has been used for some time the battery can easily drain out causing it to not work properly when you operate it. Hence with the FireStick Remote Issues, the top one which can safely be ruled out is the battery issue.

The battery that is inserted in FireStick Remote can deplete without any prior indication. So if your FireStick Remote has ceased to work all f a sudden at night during a time where you cannot go buy new batteries neither have any at home, then you can safely bet that the issue is with the remote batteries.

It is still unclear the amount that the FireStick Remote consumes in terms of is battery but at times in general the battery can dry out in a few days or perhaps weeks. Honestly, I am not yet sure why the remote consumes so much battery power. Moreover, FireStick also makes use of Alexa, the voice recognition software so the battery drainage can be blamed upon Alexa as well. However, it is not like Alexa is recognizing the voices all the time so the entire blame cannot really go there as well.

Nevertheless whatever the reasons may or may not be the solution is to initially invest in a battery that is of good quality and always keep some extra in your nearest drawer in case the need arises. Alkaline batteries are known to be top-notch and must be purchased from a manufacturer that has an established reputation.

Another thing that must be kept in mind is to look and check for the ‘+’ (plus) and ‘-‘ (minus) signs of the ends of the battery because the connectors in the battery container have the similar ends meaning the plus side of battery should be aligned with the minus side of the compartment connector and vice versa. People do end up putting the batteries in the wrong end and struggle for ages trying to fix them.  

If you have checked your batteries, replaced new ones and are still struggling to get the FireStick Remote Issue resolved then keep reading ahead.

2.     The Amazon FireStick Remote Pairing

Generally, the FireStick remote is automatically pared with its connecting device however under the circumstances that it is not paired then it is your job to do it and doing it might actually resolve the FireStick Remote Issue at hand because there is a high chance that FireStick TV remote is not properly paired.

In order to pair the FireStick TV remote follow these simple steps:

  1. Get your FireStick connected to the port of HDMI of your TV.  
  2. Now switch on your TV as well as your Amazon FireStick device.
  3. The FireStick will finish booting up, press down the HOME button present on the remote for a good 10-15 seconds.
  4. This should complete pairing up the FireStick remote with the TV.

If even now the Amazon FireStick Remote issue hasn’t resolved then hold and keep pressing the Home button again for at least 20 seconds. In fact sometimes you may have to repeat this procedure many times to finish pairing up your Amazon FireStick Remote with the TV.

Also, Amazon FireStick can pair up with seven Bluetooth devices which include the remotes as well. If you have already paired up seven devices, then un-pair one of these devices for your FireStick remote to begin working. This is how you can un-pair the device:

  1. Go to Settings by launching the home screen of FireStick. The option for Settings will be present at the top of the menu.  
  2. Access the section for Controllers & Bluetooth Devices
  3. Now the whole list of paired devices will appear in front of you. Simply select the one that you wish to disconnect by doing as you are told on the screen.

Note: Bear in mind that if your Amazon FireStick Remote doesn’t connect to your FireStick device in the first try then keep repeating the process before panicking. P

3.     The FireStick Remote Compatibility

This section of the FireStick Remote Issues cannot be included in those issues where the remote has freshly been taken out of the box. In fact it is for those remotes which are separately purchased. There is a variety of third party remotes in the market that are very well compatible with FireStick and its TV devices.

FireStick is compatible with Amazon and other controllers from third party manufacturers which can be used to make the device interactive. If any Amazon item states that it is compatible with Firestick then you can stay rest assured that it will work.  Hence if you do opt for third party remote controllers then please make sure that it is indeed compatible with FireStick.

In the market you will also find low-quality replicas of the remotes that look exactly the same as the original one but these devices hardly function and even if they do their life span is way too less which once again brings back the user to square one.

4.     Check if Your FireStick Remote is Damaged

If you have the genuine FireStick remote and its showing issues and you have replaced batteries and tried all other possible solutions as well then it is about time that you accept that maybe the remote is damaged or has some inner fault.

If this is the situation then the only solution is to go buy a new one as a replacement however you can seek comfort in the fact that the replacements do not cost much and in fact if you have as much as $10 you can easily buy a replacement. You can also seek a customized remote with added buttons for apps like Netflix etc.  

However, you should keep in mind that customized remotes are not always from Amazon so beware of the manufacturer’s credibility.

5.     Amazon Fire TV Remote App as Backup 

If you have tried and exhausted all other above mentioned options and your Amazon FireStick Remote Issue still has not resolved itself then take solace in the fact that this in NO way means that your FireStick device has become totally useless.

You can use the Remote App of Amazon Fire TV to take control of the device. This is the app which will turn your smart cell phone into a remote device and allow you to complete interaction with FireStick just as you do with a normal remote.

The Amazon Fire TV Remote App can be downloaded both on Android and Apple devices. Simply go to your play store or the app store to download this app and then complete the set up with your FireStick device. All you have to do is ensure that your cell phone and the FireStick are connected to a single Wi-Fi network.

6.     The Buttons of FireStick are Faulty

If the FireStick device is improperly paired with the remote then the buttons of the remote may not work. Press down the button for Home for 10 seconds to see if it works.

If this fix does not resolve your issue then follow the steps given below to complete its resetting and re-pairing.

  1. Un-pair your FireStick from the main power source by either pulling off the adapter or simply switching off the power outlet.
  2. Then press and keep holding the following buttons for 10 seconds:
    – Back button
    – Left part of the navigation ring and Menu button
  • Remove the batteries from your remote
  • Then switch on the FireStick device until you see it on your home screen
  • Now put back the batteries into the FireStick remote and wait for a few moments
  • This would have now paired up your FireStick TV remote and in case it hasn’t then hold down the Home button for more than 10 seconds.  Take off the batteries from the FireStick remote

7.     Miscellaneous Solutions

There are other several causes of your FireStick Remote issues and it would be a pity if we do not briefly discuss them here.

  • You must take into account the distance of the device from your FireStick TV remote because the remote is well operational within 10 ft so if you are in a huge hall then get the remote closer to the TV so that it is in the recognizable range.
  • The FireStick remote only gets connected through Bluetooth which means that FireStick necessarily doesn’t have to be aligned with the device. However, if you have placed the device in a cupboard or somewhere close then this will cause a hindrance in the signals so it is prudent to keep the device out in the open because interruption of signals is a huge cause of FireStick Remote Issues.
  • You must avoid keeping many devices around the FireStick device which once again will interrupt the signal.

We hope that the above-mentioned solutions have helped you get rid of your FireStick Remote Issues because we understand that interruption in the source of your entertainment especially during holidays or the weekend can be really frustrating. If you have any questions or other solutions in mind then feel free to post them in the comment section below.
