Netflix blocks the IP address pools of VPN servers in order to not let you use a VPN service when watching its content. It also blocks all information from GPS services.
How to Get Around This
The good news is that if you’re accessing Netflix without being connected to a VPN, you can continue doing that even when you connect to IPVanish. This is made possible by the split tunneling feature that’s available on the FireOS and Android devices. You can use this feature to route your apps through the ISP and not the VPN.
If you haven’t yet signed up for IPVanish VPN, this article is all you need to know! Don’t forget to also check our “Top 4 IPVanish Secret Settings” article.
Let’s jump into the guide so you can learn how to access Netflix using the IPVanish Split Tunneling option.
How to watch Netflix using IPVanish Split Tunneling
1. Click on the red Disconnect button if your IPVanish VPN is already connected. If your VPN is not connected, go to the second step.
2. Tap on the Settings icon located at the top right of the screen.
3. Click on Split Tunneling at the Connection section.
5. Click on Netflix.
6. Make sure the description under Netflix is com.netflix.ninja
7. Go back to the IPVanish home screen and click on the back arrow on the top left side of the screen. Connect IPVanish and enjoy Netflix!
Note: If you are unable to see the Netflix app listed on your app list, go to the triple dot menu on top right hand to open the System app list. Scroll down until you find the Netflix app and click it.
When streaming content online, you should always use a VPN service such as IPVanish. With IPVanish, you will protect your online privacy while browsing the world wide web.
IPVanish has updated and those screenshots are out dated. It seems to be more complicated now to find the proper file to use split tunnel on.
With more apps like Starz, which will also not run well with IPVanish, HBO Max, Disney+ etcetera, it would be helpful for a more descriptive tutorial using split tunneling.
