How to use Netflix in S. Korea: Yes, it's possible

By popular demand, I've decided to do a post for Netflix. None of us want to cancel our subscriptions, right?



What I did was just add an extension to Google chrome called "Gom VPN."

It's not exactly free. Only the first seven days is free. I actually just finished my free 7-day trial. However, it does work. It's only 3 dollars per month, so it's a pretty small amount (even though I was averted to getting it in the beginning) but how else am I going to O.D. on Supernatural and Star Trek? There are also other extensions as well, I don't know how they work, they just do. Also, it works for Hulu.

As for what sort of software you need... it's simple. Long story short for the matter, you need Google chrome, so if you're anti-chrome... sorry bro.

However! There are other avenues. I have Gom because I'm currently using a Chromebook, and the OS is basically the Google chrome browser anyway. I can't download other browsers and the like to this little thing, but I don't mind. If you search online, you can find other people who worked it out. It may not be free.

I have also just been informed of a free portal called ZenMate, which i will also try. I promise I will let the world know if it's good, but fellow 14th G scholars have said it's legit. This is also an extension for Google Chrome, though. Sorry, Chrome haters.

BUT! Not all hope is lost. There are other avenues for PC users. I'm sorry, Mac users, I have no advice. The good thing is that you can still download chrome.

One thing to try is Ultrasurf. A friend of mine told me about it, but I've never used it. When I have to renew Gom, I'll try switching to Ultrasurf to see if it's legit (and free). I'll keep you all updated, I promise. Ultrasurf has a program for windows and an extension for chrome. The following is a link to the Ultrasurf website:

There are also other bloggers online who figured it out. Here are a few links:

But let's not forget the old stanby: just run a google search.

If you type in "how to use netflix/hulu in South Korea" and be amazed once again. Google, man. There's a reason why it's the best search engine ever. For real.

Anyway, this is all I got for now. All my fellow 14th G TaLK scholars know how tired I am. I'll post something about my first week later, after I catch up on my Z's, cuz I ain't had no time for nappin'. Anyways, later days.

Cheers~!
