Hi Peeps,
If I have a ZA netflix account and my question is, if I VPN into North America, do I gain access to more content?
 
If the VPN hasn't been blocked by Netflix, then yes. On PC I use Opera's built-in VPN & that works for me without having to spend extra on a VPN service.

More content, yes. A DNS service works out cheaper. Getflix is pretty good in that regard.

There is no such thing, it's a universal global account that presents content for whatever country you are connecting from.

So yes if you VPN/DNS to appear as if from another country it will show you the content from that country.

Generally not worth the hassle.
 
You will get access to the catalogue available in that country and also miss out on some of the titles available in the local catalogue should it not be available on that other end. I personally dont think its worth it as I find the local catalogue quite vast and they have been adding new titles off late that there is no need to go to all the trouble of accessing content available in North America
 
Google DNS Proxy, I think it works better than VPN's.
Agreed. A little more work to set it up but well worth the effort.

With a DNS service you can switch between US and SA catalogues at the press of a button on an app or via a webpage.

FWIW a good smart dns service will often include a VPN.
