Streaming Movies & TV in Ecuador
Moving to Ecuador? Traveling for business or pleasure? Beyond all the standard needs of traveling or moving internationally, it is important to remember what you might truly miss when leaving home, namely your favorite movies and TV shows on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Crackle and even music from Pandora or Spotify.
Each of these services has different rights in different countries that are based on local tastes and desires. So even though you may love Ecuadorian food, you may not be ready full immersion into only South America dubbed movies and telenovelas. So for any expat headed or just arriving in Ecuador, the solution to unlocking restricted content from anywhere in the world in your new home is right on this page!
Will Netflix Instant Work in Ecuador?
Netflix Instant’s expansion outside of the US has been slow and methodical, but South America was among the first continents to benefit when Netflix decided to expand beyond North America.
But even if you’re in a country with Netflix Instant, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to be happy with your queue when you see it. As anyone who has traveled outside of the country and tried to use their Netflix queue has noticed, what’s available to stream radically changes from country to country.
So if you happen to find yourselves in Quito on vacation, trying to unwind with your Netflix queue en la noche, you may find yourselves frustrated by more regionally specific programming. There’s an easy way around it though, and it’s called a VPN.
What is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network service (or VPN) is a subscription-based service that serves a pair of important purposes. Firstly, VPNs keep you protected from the many malevolent forces that crop up from seemingly everywhere and are suddenly interested in your e-mails and credit card information, be they snooping governments, hackers, or online scammers.
This is accomplished by tunneling all of your online activity through secure encrypted servers set up all over the world when you log into your VPN.
This same process that encrypts your online activities also frees you up to explore a more open internet!
When you log into your VPN, you get to choose a new IP address from your encrypted server located somewhere around the globe. This is an opportunity to allow your web-ready device to use the Internet from any country of your choosing.
Watch US TV on Netflix Instant in Ecuador with a VPN
So if you’re in, say, Ecuador, log into your VPN, choose an American-based IP address, and voila! Your device thinks you’re in America so you can access US Netflix (or Hulu Plus, HBO GO, ESPN anything you want) whenever you please!
Some of the most consistent connections & fastest VPN speeds for US-based IP address from Ecuador. Looking for more great router-supported VPN services? The handy supported VPN service provider list is prepped and ready to assist.
Unlock US Netflix Instant in Ecuador with a Roku/AppleTV
The limitation of a standard VPN service is where you can use it and having to set it up on each device individually. Some devices like Roku 3, AppleTV, XboxOne, Playstation 3, SmartTVs/Blu-Ray players or Google Chromecast do not even integrate a VPN setup option and definitely none for the preferred protocol OpenVPN.
So in order to use a VPN with these popular streaming media devices for unlocking US content, you need to base the VPN connection with the router. This offers two major advantages:
1. One setup and any device you connect will now use VPN. No more hassles or struggling. You will be browsing the web freely and streaming content privately in no time!
2. Hold onto your old router, and use it with your new FlashRouter with our popular dual router setup, which allows you to switch back and forth between one dedicated VPN and your normal, day-to-day network with complete and total ease.
Want to make sure you have the fastest and most fluid streaming video experience imaginable? You’ve got to go with a FlashRouter.
As the video above explains, a FlashRouter is the most certain way to revolutionize and future-proof your network. Using top-of-the-line networking devices, our process improves them further by replacing their stock firmware with DD-WRT firmware.
This replacement open-source firmware creates a whole new world of possibilities for the user. With DD-WRT, you can extend your wireless range, access advanced security options, remove security backdoor of default firmware, and even control how your bandwidth is allocated for max streaming video performance (something people streaming lots of Netflix Instant can certainly stand to take advantage of).
