Although, Netflix is blocked in Australia but still, it is still the 2nd most demanded paid-content media channel in Australia. According to a research published by Pocketbook, when it was asked from Aussies, 27% of them are still using Netflix. How? Well, there are many ways like Proxies, VPN, Smart DNS, Web Extensions, Browser Add-on and Unblocking software to access Netflix in Australia, but most of the people are using VPN as a secure gateway.
We will discuss it later in this blog how you can access Netflix in Australia using VPN but first let me get to the first point:
Why Watch Netflix in Australia?
The question is, why to get Netflix in Australia when Australian have services like Quickflix, Foxtel, BigPonds Movies, Amazon Movies, Catch-Up TV services and Rental Movies? Well, they all are good but not as good as Netflix. Come on man! Comparing these services with Netflix is just like comparing a pool with the sea. Because Netflix offers 1 Billion hours of movies, reality shows and seasons on fingertips.
Another reason is, you can’t watch the latest episode of some of the world’s greatest shows like Vegas, Castle, Modern Family, Voice, Two and Half Man, The walking dead, The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones anywhere at first but on Netflix.
The only platform with widest range of movies and shows from 1930’s till to date is offered by none other but Netflix. This is why an average user in Australia stays much longer with Netflix (approximately 110 days) than any of the aforementioned content media channels.
The second question you may come up with if:
Is It Legal To Watch Netflix In Australia?
A spokesperson for Attorney-General Robert McClelland told the Australian last week.
“In relation to the use of VPNs by Australians to access services such as Hulu and Netflix, on the limited information provided there does not appear to be an infringement of copyright law in Australia.”
The legality of using VPN and geo-blocking is in grey area. But overall conclusion refers it as not illegal. However, using VPN to unblock Netflix in Australia may breach some of the terms of services. The highest risk involved in it can possibly be, your account may be disconnected by Netflix. But, its least expected to happen as Netflix accepts payments from Australian Visa/MasterCard and PayPal account holders.

Well, if you are using Netflix in Australia with free gateways like proxies, you may have noticed that you are outcast by the spell of black witch. Don’t get it – I’m referring to streaming speed and annoying ads and data theft.
