The problem with having a brilliant show in just one country on Netflix is that unless you have a Netflix account in that country and are currently residing in that country, you cannot legally watch a show like O Mecanismo. Fortunately for fans of crime dramas around the world and those located outside Brazil who love to catch up on the country’s best television offerings, there is a completely legal workaround available know as a virtual private network (VPN).
How does a VPN work?
A VPN creates a secure tunnel through which all traffic between your Internet-capable device and one at a remote server located in Brazil. All of your requests will be encrypted and transmitted to the remote server through the tunnel making sure no third party, such as your Internet service Provider, government watchdogs, or cybercriminals can see. The request is decoded at the remote server, where your information is given a new IP address, in this case a Brazilian one, before it is uploaded to the website, in this case Netflix. When Netflix receives the request, it will note that it comes from a Brazilian website, removing the geoblock and allowing you to browse and stream videos from the Brazilian Netflix site. When you begin doing this, the data will travel back to your remote server, as going straight to your computer would set off warning bells in Netflix security. The remote server will encrypt the streaming data, send it through the encrypted tunnel, where your computer will decrypt it and make it available for viewing, regardless of whether you are located in Ireland, Indiana, India, or Indonesia.
