How can I use the Google One VPN to watch region locked content on streaming platforms?

For example my wife and I wanted to watch “Into the Spiderverse” which is available on Disney plus through a Google link, but it tells me it’s region locked when I click it.

Do I just have to use a different VPN?

You can’t… You can’t select a region. That isn’t the purpose or intent of this VPN.

You cannot, it even tells you this when you read the info about the google vpn.

You cannot choose the region

Use a different VPN. I use windscribe VPN and it hasn’t failed me.

Use a different VPN.
Id highly suggest mullvad VPN if you want privacy focused usage.

If you don’t care, id find a different one.

Is Google One VPN any good? Does it just stop IP tracking?

It only works if you’re in another region and want to use the VPN to watch US based stuff. At least that’s how it worked for me.

I was in Canada the past 2 months or so, and sometimes I’d have my Fi VPN on and I’d notice a discrepancy in shows between my phone Netflix app and TV app. So whenever I had the VPN enabled, I think it defaulted to the US Netflix.

Google VPN reduces my home Wi-Fi download speeds from 970 to 100-130. No thanks.

Use softether for that.

ExpressVPN is great for region unlocking

Just download the fake gps app. Set your location to anywhere you want lol

Time to get surfshark VPN

If you are on Android, and you’re just trying to region switch to watch TV, TurboVPN works and is free (at least it was the last time I used it). I would not recommend using it for any type of security, but it works for region switching

It’s kind of shitty if you have your Google One VPN turned on, Disney plus won’t work

Google uses a blind system. It goes beyond forgetting logging data. It can’t be regionally switched because Google has to give you a IP and even in most cases it tries to give a local IP. Google must work with content distributors to make it work properly. If Google did anything illegal or illegitimate all Google servers would be blocked in a blanketed fashion. The VPN on Googles systems are reasonably perfect. You should be happy to be able to use the VPN with Netflix at all.

Google has locked down their VPN so it’s impossible to improperly abuse their VPN for such content.

Windscribe FTW, their free tier is great as well.

Have you tried googling it? :slight_smile:

Googles VPN is the best because it uses a blind system.
