Will my Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Paramount Plus work in Thailand?

@Richard *****************

OK you're clearly struggling and I'm a nice guy. VPN companies have thousands of servers and list new ones all the time, companies like Netflix (apparently) and betting companies get wind of these and ban them, all you need to do is find a server name they haven't got wind of yet. If you mail Nord they will suggest servers to use (new ones) - there, all that education for free!

@Jeff ******

no struggles here I just know what I have dealt with. Again I know what I have experienced and it’s not as easy or straightforward as you point out, 😂 but again I am not going to argue with you about something that I know to be true and have experienced with many vpns and I have gone down such suggested paths and do continue to have issues. Try not to hate the player, just hate the game, 😂

@Richard *****************

whereas I don’t (paid Nord as well, is there a free option?) so the problem is clearly yours.

@Jeff ******

again you don’t know what you are talking about and so you can’t make generalizations about your experience! So I guess the article attached means nothing, 😂 just because you like to argue doesn’t mean your right:

@Richard *****************

how the f*ck can I not know what I'm talking about when I'm actually doing it! Bizarre. I have absolutely no problem watching ALL Netflix content IN Thailand using a PAID Nord VPN account. Look at the other comments, others can too. I'm afraid it's you!🤣

@Jared ********

i’ll look, thanks 🙏

this is not correct. I have downloaded a VPN onto my firestick. Nothing special or anything... just search the apps.

I chose NORDVPN and it works

Some are saying that newer streaming devices give you the ability to download VPN apps... don't own any of the newer generation devices or have any presently attached but know from the past that the VPN apps like ExpressVPN and Nord are for a fee ($) apps. For services like Netflix and Amazon you will get whatever limitations or restrictions are in place for the geo location your VPN is set to... that means if you are setting VPN location to Thailand you only get thai content, UK will be UK content, USA will be USA content. Netflix (I believe Amazon as well) has a very sophisticated algorithm and blocks know VPN IP addresses. Some VPNs will not achieve the geo location change you may be looking to overcome. Also keep in mind that the VPN overhead to bandwidth may have an affect on your streaming stability.

@Chuck ***********

that’s what I thought. Your comment sounded like you did something different within the firestick itself. What I don’t know is how to setup the VPN in the router, which is why I have not yet done it. Having everything going through it is not a problem as I already use VPN for security.

@Ruth ******

I downloaded the app for my VPN onto the firestick

@Denyse ******

can I also ask what vpn you use, in case mine doesn’t provide that option? I’ll do more research when I’m at my computer

@Ruth ******

we use Nord VPN and used to use surfshark - both had apps on fire stick

@Denyse ******

thanks! I’ll have to see if the same is available for Roku. If not, I’ll pickup a firestick.

@Ruth ******

we found it really helpful, we not really nightlife people so watched some UK TV most evenings

@Ruth ******

this may not be a capability that your router has... really depends on your router and if you have admin rights/access. There are some "appliances" that you can buy that could allow you to create a VPN or VPN like environment between your internet connection and your streaming device BUT you will likely suffer additional bandwidth reductions that may make your streaming experience frustrating. Higher end "prosumer" routers like Ubiquiti and Mikrotik... allow you to specify VPN per connection. These type of devices have a learning curve and require some networking technical expertise. Best advice I can give is find someone that you trust (this person will need to have access to your home internet) that can give you some networking advice.
