But I have a solution.  Actually, two solutions that will give you access to all of this Key and Peele content once again.

How to watch Key and Peele in Canada

Method #1:  Using UnblockUs

The first tool is what is sometimes called a SmartDNS service or DNS masker. It basically fools specific sites into thinking that you are located somewhere else (like the US). I’ve been using UnblockUs for several years now due to its ease of use and really great customer service. It works on pretty much every device you could imagine (PC, Mac, game consoles, streaming boxes) and is also really cheap. At $4.99 a month, it will also unlock additional Netflix regions for you (of course if you already have a Netflix account).

I have made a simple tutorial video on how to get started below:

Method#2:  Using Private Internet Access (VPN)

The second method is also really simple. But it is possibly even more flexible. Not only will it fool specific services like Netflix and Hulu, but it will for intents and purposes make your whole computer look like it is located somewhere else. This is using a technology called a “virtual private network” or VPN.

The service that I use (and trust) is called Private Internet Access.  It works well and, just like UnblockUs, works on almost all devices. It’s actually even cheaper at about $3.99 a month in Canada. And you will be able to completely bypass any geoblocking as well as mask your location online generally.

If you want to give it a try, head on over to the Private Internet Access website.  I have also written a pretty detailed piece about how to get started here:  How to get American Netflix in Canada with a VPN.

Disclaimer: I earn a small commission for everyone that signs up to UnblockUs or Private Internet Access from the above links at no cost to you. But I truly do support their services and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

First, check out MoreFlicks.com which can be used to show which content is available on which country’s Netflix. In the screenshot below you can see all of the different regions that are available.  And believe me, there is very different content in each. Canada tends to have a less than stellar catalog when compared to American Netflix. Japan, as you might guess, has a lot more Anime content. It will also

There is a better way…

How to get American Netflix and Hulu (and much more…)

This method will actually allow you to access any geo-blocked US streaming service including:

• Netflix
• Hulu
• HBO Now
• MLB TV
• Pandora
• Spotify
• NHL Gamecenter Live
• NBA League Pass
• and more…

This method uses a really great service called Unblock-Us. I’ve used them for years. I have used it for years to get different Netflix regions, access to Hulu in Canada as well as get access to SNL episodes (which for some god awful reason are next to impossible to find online outside of the US.

Unblock-Us is pretty simple actually.  It basically masks your computer’s DNS to tell Netflix of Hulu (or other service) that you are located somewhere else.  And it works really well!

How do I set it up?

The whole process is very simple. You first sign up for an account here. Once you have started a trial, Unblock-Us will give you access to some tutorials of how to use the service. If it’s just on your laptop that you need US Netflix access, then it is REALLY simple. You just activate the service through your web browser. If you want to give access to all of the devices on your home network then you can also setup the service at your router (which is a bit more complicated).

So if you want better video streaming content, go on over to Unblock-Us and sign up for their 7 day trial. If you decide to stick with it, it is $4.99 a month (in Canada) which in my opinion is well worth it to not only get access to US Netflix, but also all kinds of other geoblocked content.

Happy cord cutting.

Please note that I do get a small commission if you click on the links above (at no cost to you). I do have extensive personal experience with Unblock-Us and I really do think it’s an awesome service. I wouldn’t be promoting it otherwise. If you have any questions just let me know.

How to avoid sports blackouts

I’m a big NHL fan, and it wasn’t really an option to not get the Ottawa Senators broadcasts when I cut the cord. Luckily, there is a way to avoid the local blackout on NHL Gamecenter Live. It’s by using a service called Unblock-Us. Unblock-Us uses DNS trickery to make it seem like you aren’t tuning in from a local location, therefore avoiding the blackout. Bingo! All your local games are unblocked.

How do I setup Unblock-Us?

It’s really quite easy. Sign up for their free trial so you can make sure that the service works for all of your devices.

There are guides for various devices on the Unblock-Us website that are really helpful whether you’re just streaming from your laptop or you’re setting it up on your home network so all of your devices can avoid the blackouts.

This is where you sign up for a free trial

I’ve used Unblock-Us for about four years now and it hasn’t let me down yet. It’s super simple to setup even for beginners.  Give it a go and let me know how it worked for your local team.

Happy cord cutting!

Please note that the above links for Unblock-Us are affiliate links. That means that I get a small commission for sending you to their website. I want to be transparent about that. But at the same time, I personally use Unblock-Us (and have for many years) and trust their team. Technically using something like Unblock-Us may violate your terms of service with your streaming video provider so keep that in mind.
