I would like to watch MyHeroAcademia but don't know exactly how it works with the VPN. I have a subscription to Netflix, Crunchyroll, and NordVPN. If I set the VPN to Japan and then call up crunchyroll.com, the German-language page opens anyway and I can't find anything from MyHeroAcademia in the search. It's the same with Netflix. If I track my IP address then I'm in Japan.
How do I solve this problem? And is there another country I can put the VPN on that is closer than the other end of the planet?
Try England or the USA (but will likely get an IP ban)
Why vpn?
Using a free proxy server out of the country is a lot easier than doing this stuff with VPN. And if you're wondering why that doesn't work with NordVPN, it's because they aren't the most reliable when it comes to encryption and anonymity.
The best VPN service for geounblocking right now, on paper, is VyprVPN. But there are also other methods, such as analyzing your search history, to find out your rough location.
