Why Geo-Restrictions Exist — And How to Get Around Them

Streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu license content on a country-by-country basis. A show available on Netflix US might not exist in the UK library, and vice versa. This isn't a technical limitation — it's a business decision driven by complex licensing agreements between studios, distributors, and regional broadcasters.

When you connect to a streaming service, it checks your IP address to determine your location and serves you the content library for that region. A VPN changes your visible IP address to one in a different country, giving you access to that country's content library. It's the same technology that businesses use every day for secure remote access — just pointed at a different server.

Real-world example: You're an American traveling in Europe and want to watch your favorite shows on Hulu (which only works in the US). Connect to a US server, and Hulu sees a US IP address. Or you're in the US and want to watch BBC iPlayer — connect to a UK server. The switch takes seconds.

The NordLynx protocol (built on WireGuard) is what makes modern VPN streaming practical. Older protocols like OpenVPN added noticeable latency and buffering. NordLynx retains 94% of your original speed, which means even bandwidth-heavy 4K streams play without interruption. In our testing, we streamed 4K content on Netflix and Disney+ for hours with zero buffering events.
