How To Watch American Netflix in Pakistan

Pakistan is an amazing country with a rich culture, colorful way of life, amazing sights, sounds and smells. If you’re visiting or working there, you shouldn’t really be inside watching TV, you should be out exploring. Except in the midday heat. Then it’s a good idea to stay indoors with the AC. It would also be a good time to catch up on your boxsets so here is how to watch American Netflix in Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country full of history, art, culture, food and amazing things to see and do. It is also incredibly hot or amazingly wet depending on the time of year and where in the country you are. That might be a good time to stay in your room and binge  watch something. Trouble is, the Pakistani Netflix catalog is nothing like the one you get at home.

According to Finder.com, the US has 1,580 TV shows and 4,052 movies. Pakistan has 1,272 TV shows and 3,037 movies. That’s not bad in global terms and certainly more than most countries. It still falls short of what you’re used to getting at home though.

Pakistan and VPNs

Pakistan is regarded as a very conservative and not very open society. The state does regulate the internet and local access can be very spotty outside cities. Regional authorities do seem to have a tendency to shut down the internet or restrict access altogether at times which is less than ideal. If you’re staying in a city or large town, this shouldn’t be an issue but is something to bear in mind nonetheless.

As far as I can tell, VPN access is not blocked and the internet is available in most large towns and cities. Pakistan is similar to India in that it’s issue is less about control and more about controlling fake news and disinformation on its internet. As a result, India is considering new powers to control the internet much like the Chinese model. Pakistan is apparently thinking of following suit. For now at least, it hasn’t happened but it might.

A VPN should be obligatory whenever you travel, are likely to use WiFi hotspots and when visiting different countries. It secures all of your internet traffic by encrypting it and sending it through a virtual tunnel to the VPN server. Anyone listening to your traffic will see some but not be able to access it. This is a serious security upgrade and everyone should use one.

For watching American Netflix in Pakistan, a VPN sends your traffic over its network to an American exit node. There it is decrypted and sent onto the internet. As far as Netflix is concerned, your traffic came from the city the VPN server is based in and not Pakistan so will allow you to see the US catalog of content instead of the Pakistani one.

Each of these VPN providers works in Pakistan, works to keep Netflix available across the world, uses 256-bit encryption, has user-friendly apps that work on almost any device and keeps no logs. They all offer either as free trial or a moneyback guarantee for extra peace of mind.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is a regular feature in our VPN coverage as it is one of the more reliable networks available. With thousands of VPN servers in 160 locations in 94 countries including a good number in the US, this provider has the network necessary for streaming and offering good speeds and reliability. The app is easy to use and works well too.

Private internet Access

Private internet Access is another regular and another VPN that will let you watch American Netflix in Pakistan. With 3,321 VPN servers in 32 countries, including lots in the US, this network fits the bill. It is fast, secure and has the coverage necessary for world travel. The app is also fluid and easy to use and can switch on or off in seconds.

NordVPN

NordVPN is another favorite VPN here. It is fast, secure, has over 5,200 VPN servers in 60 countries and a straightforward app. With a neat double hop feature where you hop to another VPN server instead of onto the internet for extra security, this is definitely a provider to consider if security is paramount. For all users, the encryption level is more than sufficient to keep you safe.

CyberGhost

CyberGhost has over 3,600 VPN servers in 60 countries including the US, a fast and stable network and competitive pricing. The app is easy to use and reliable, customer support is good and you can watch American Netflix in Pakistan or anywhere with this service. Pricing is comparable to these others too.

StrongVPN

StrongVPN is my final suggestion. The company has been reinvented with more servers, a better network, new security features and a new look. It has 650 VPN servers in 26 countries including the States and offers a fast enough network for streaming and reliability to match. It is also competitively priced and is worth considering.
