Watch Amazon Prime Instant Video Outside the US

Not a problem

While accessing your movies may not be an issue when you use open Internet networks in the US; these networks can include free Internet access points like hotels, rest stops, libraries and more.

The issue

Issues do turn up if you leave the country for any amount of time. So if you plan on leaving the country for two weeks, or plan on living as an expat for any amount of time you won’t be able to access your Amazon movie account; this is because the Amazon website can see your IP address as being out of the country.

The solution

A VPN service may be the solution to your problem. When you sign up to get VPN services, you protect your computer against other websites from seeing your real IP address. While this offers you privacy and protects all the personal data on your computer by preventing hackers or others from seeing your computer; there is also the additional benefit of being able to access your Amazon movie account.

How does that work

When you contract an online VPN service, you are given the choice of accessing the Internet from one of the VPN service’s IP addresses. You can select the IP address you want to use from the country of your choice. When you choose a US IP address to work through, then Amazon and any other high security websites with out-of-country-blocks, see you as being in the States. This allows you to access your Amazon Prime Instant Video from outside America as easily as if you were sitting in the comfort of your home.

Being safe is what it’s all about

While viewing your movie websites is an important activity, contracting a VPN can also be a safe solution while you travel abroad. A VPN keeps all your surfing activity anonymous and safe from anyone who may want to prey on you and steal important information (like bank user names and passwords). Even advertising companies target your IP address to send specific advertising material. With a reliable VPN in place you can surf the web as you usually do without anyone else knowing who you are and where you are surfing from.
