How a VPN Service Will Help You Watch Disney+ in a Geo-Restricted Country?
The internet with which you browse has your local IP address. So what it means is that if you are in Malaysia, your internet connection will reflect your location as Malaysia.
Did you know that Disney+ restricts the IP address of the regions where it has not launched officially? Now you do! This includes countries like South Africa and Israel. Thus you won’t be able to watch Disney Plus in Israel or South Africa.
Hence a VPN service is essential to conceal and change your local IP address with Disney Plus’s officially launched locations. Therefore connecting to a US server with your VPN, the Disney+ tracker gets tricked by your camouflage IP address and thinks you reside in the USA. Thus, it allows you to access Disney Plus and stream the content.
