How to Change Your Region in Netflix and Watch Any Netflix Country [Every Device]

The Netflix content you have access to depends on the location of your IP address. According to Netflix's streaming agreements, certain content is only allowed to be streamed in specific countries.

3. In the left menu, click on "Network and Sharing Center".
   
4. Select "Change adapter settings".
   
5. Now find the network connection with the name of your VPN; it is likely to be named "unidentified network" or something similar. Simply locate the network with “ExpressVPN” in its name.
