Netflix is excellent, there are tons of films and TV programmes but if you’re an Indian TV or film lover, then you can be disappointed by the lack of Indian content.
But what if we were to tell you that Netflix is available in India and on the Netflix India service there is a whole host of Indian content that isn’t available when you’re in the UK?
In this guide we’ll be showing you how you can watch that all from the United Kingdom.
You see, Netflix limit content depending what region you’re in but with a service called a ‘VPN‘, you can tap into that content and access Netflix regions from across the world.
All you need is a VPN app, your UK Netflix account (or a Netflix account from any country) and 3 minutes of your time. Below we’ll show you how.
How to stream Indian Netflix anywhere
When you visit the Netflix website or use the app in the UK, you’re pushed to the UK service. It is, however, possible to log into any region of Netflix anywhere in the world with your UK account details.
The only requirement is, is that you’re in the country of the Netflix site you want to access.
When using a VPN service you can alter your online location to any country. So you don’t physically need to be there, you can make your internet show that you are there. The result is you can watch Netflix India in the UK.
It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. There are multiple VPN services but not all work with Netflix India.
In our tests we found NordVPN to be the best but the following three all work and you are free to choose:
- NordVPN – Recommended!
- CyberGhost VPN
- Surfshark
Step-by-step guide to unblock Netflix India
Below I’m using NordVPN as the example but you can use any of the three services from above.
- Visit the NordVPN website and sign up to their service. They offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
- Download the correct app for your device from the VPN Apps section of the website.
- Install and open the app and login with your account details which you chose when you signed up.
- From the country list select India.
- Then tap Region an select Mumbai. Lastly, hit Connect.
Unlock Indian Netflix using NordVPN.
Once you’ve pressed Connect the app will set about getting you connected to India.
When you’re connected you can now head over to the Netflix website or app and enjoy streaming Indian Netflix.

What do I do once connected?
All it takes is about 15 seconds for the NordVPN app to connect and once it’s done, it will let you know.
When the NordVPN app has connected, all you need to do is open up your favourite web-browser and head over to the Netflix website like normal or use their app.
Log in with your regular account details. Now if you browse to the ‘Genres‘ option at the top of the site, you’ll see sections for Indian Movies and Indian TV Shows.
You can watch any of these but you’ll need to stay connected to the VPN service.
Don’t worry though, there are no additional charges and you can stay connected for as long as you like. You can also reconnect as many times as you wish as long as you have an active VPN subscription.
When you’ve finished watching simply disconnect. You can reconnect again at any time.
Can I use any VPN service?
It’s true that NordVPN isn’t the only VPN service available. In fact, there are anywhere between 300 – 1000 commercial VPN services available to choose from.
However, the majority are not suitable for watching Netflix India in the UK.
Many VPN services don’t support India and without an Indian ‘VPN server’, it would be impossible to make it work. Even most that do offer Indian VPN services still don’t work with Netflix.
You’ll connect and even though you can see the range of Indian content, when you go to play it, it will tell you that you’re not in the correct region.
It is for this reason that we recommend NordVPN for watching Netflix India in the UK. It works and it works well.

Is my Netflix account safe using this method?
Yes, your Netflix account is incredibly safe.
It’s is arguably safer when using a VPN than when connecting directly to a regular internet connection without using a VPN.
The original purpose of a VPN is to protect your online security. It does this by encrypting all of your data which means it mixes it all up so it’s unreadable by others.
This way, no one will be able to snoop on what you’re doing, spy on what websites you’re visiting or even what you’re watching on Netflix.
You can be safe in the knowledge that you can watch Netflix India in the UK without any risk.
Conclusion: What you need – a recap
Netflix India has a lot of great content that isn’t available outside India.
If you’re Indian living in the UK or you love Indian films and TV shows, then a VPN will allow you to access Netflix India in the UK.
It’s nothing more complicated than signing up for a VPN service such as NordVPN, downloading their app, connecting to India and then logging into Netflix as usual.
You can get a VPN by clicking the button below and following the simple instructions earlier in this guide.
