Hey guys!
I’m not sure if you are already aware of VPN Gate. VPN Gate Academic Experiment Project is an online service as an academic research at Graduate School of University of Tsukuba, Japan. The purpose of this research is to expand the knowledge of “Global Distributed Public VPN Relay Servers”.
I came across this website yesterday and tested it. It really works and it is completely free! I will leave the links below on how to setup for Mac and Windows. There are also guides for iOS and Android.

I tested both the L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN. On the VPN Servers list, you should select the highest score ones for Japanese IP DDNS hosts in order to have a good connection. For me, when I hit play on Netflix it usually takes 3~5 mins to become HD quality.
Japanese Netflix has TONS of anime, series and movies with Japanese audio and subtitles. I think it is a great resource for learning, so please, try it if you like!
It’s not free since you still have to pay for netflix, but it’s a nice method the 10% of the time it works. Most times I try it, I have to reset it multiple times to get a working proxy. Then the next day that same proxy doesn’t work and I have to try again. It wasn’t worth the 20 minutes of guesswork everytime so I gave up.
was there really that much more anime? Maybe i did it wrong but maybe a year ago i got curious and checked this and there wasn’t much more than my standard aussie netflix.
It’s worked for my a solid 2 months now
(Assuming you have a Netflix account…)
Sorry to hear that, but it worked fine for me.
It’s always been pretty reliable for me.
For me, it has! Especially the ones I like more. But the point is that it has the Japanese subtitles for the animes (which is in the purpose of learning). I think the Australian nextflix doesnt have jp subs.
gonna have to give this a shot, i’m still a newbie to learning (2 months in) any recommendations?
