Three steps, no install.
Country detection
Reading edge headers (Cloudflare / Vercel) or GeoIP fallback. The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code is extracted.
Catalog mapping
The country is cross-referenced with a base of known catalogs: Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, Hulu, etc.
Accessible list
We display catalogs likely available and those likely blocked from your region.
Why catalogs differ
Streaming platforms license content country by country. The same film can be available in France and blocked in the US, or vice versa. Your IP determines the list shown to you.
A VPN lets you change the exit country. Not every platform tolerates it — some detect and block known VPN IPs. Our {partner} review covers where it works and where it does not.
Everything you need to know.
Why do my real catalogs differ?
Platforms cross IP + billing address + cookies. A VPN alone doesn't change billing. For streaming, combine VPN + cleared cookies + sometimes system timezone.
Is my IP really in this country?
GeoIP isn't 100% accurate. A 1-2% country error exists (multinational ISP, exotic routing). If your detected country doesn't match your actual location, your IP may have been reclassified.
How do I change the detected country?
A VPN switches your exit point: connect to a US server = US-detected IP. Our NordVPN review details which servers actually pass streaming platforms in 2026.
Do prices really change by country?
Yes. Flights, hotels, streaming, some software. Typical savings: 15-40% by testing 3-4 different countries. See our article on flight prices via VPN.
