Craving The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel But Stuck in the Land of the Long White Cloud? How to Get Your Amazon Prime Fix in New Zealand
Ah, New Zealand. The land of stunning scenery, flightless birds, and...well, let's be honest, sometimes limited streaming options.

The Not-So-Secret Weapon: The VPN
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.![]()
Think of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) as your undercover streaming agent. It creates a tunnel of secrecy (think Mission: Impossible, but with less Tom Cruise) between your device and the internet. Here's the cool part: you can choose where that tunnel exits! That's right, you can virtually relocate yourself to a country where Amazon Prime Video is available, like the US of A.
But Wait, There's a Catch (There's Always a Catch)
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.![]()
Don't get too excited just yet. Using a VPN to access geo-restricted content can be a bit of a grey area. Check the terms of service of both your VPN provider and Amazon Prime to make sure you're not violating any rules.

Operation: Stream It Like You Mean It
Now, for the thrilling part (well, maybe thrilling for streaming nerds):
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.![]()
- Choose Your VPN Wisely: Do your research, my friend! Look for a VPN with strong security, fast speeds (crucial for smooth streaming), and servers in Prime-enabled countries.
- Download and Install: Follow the provider's instructions. It's usually pretty straightforward, but hey, nobody likes wrestling with tech.
- Pick Your Portal: Connect to a server in a country with Amazon Prime, like the US. Now, you've got the virtual dirt under your fingernails to prove it.
- Prime Time: Head over to the Amazon Prime Video website (or app), sign in (or create an account if you haven't already), and bam! You're in. Browse the vast library of movies, TV shows, and award-winning Amazon Originals like a champion.
Just a Friendly Reminder
While a VPN can be your gateway to streaming glory, remember, with great content comes great responsibility. Make sure your internet connection can handle the streaming. Nothing ruins a perfectly good binge session like buffering galore.
There you have it! Now you can (virtually) travel the world and conquer your viewing queue, all from the comfort of your New Zealand couch. Just don't forget the sheep outside your window might be judging your questionable taste in reality TV (looking at you, Too Hot to Handle).
