How to Watch Funimation from Anywhere with a VPN

To access Funimation from anywhere, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is essential. Establishing a connection to a server in the US using a VPN service allows you to easily watch Funimation.

You can also watch Funimation for free. But some episodes and titles are available only for premium members. If you only want to watch free, you only need to complete steps one to three.

Here are some of the anime titles you can watch on Funimation.

• One Piece
• My Hero Academia
• Kingdom
• Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
• Attack on Titan
• Jujutsu Kaisen
• Dragon Ball Z

Why can’t I Access Funimation in My Country?

Funimation, which started in the United States, is only available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico, and Brazil. So, if you don’t live in one of these countries, Funimation is not available, and if you try to access it you will see a screen which displays, “Sorry, but this content isn’t available in your country”.

Fortunately, by utilizing a VPN, you can overcome these geographical restrictions and access content from any location. Simply connect to a US-based VPN server, and you’ll be able to freely enjoy Funimation, regardless of your physical whereabouts.

How Does a VPN Enables You to Access Funimation from Any Location?

Using a VPN enables you to mask your location and subscribe as if you were in a different country.

Websites, such as those providing American content, determine what to display based on your IP address. For example, if you access a website from outside the US, certain content may not be displayed. However, if you access the website via a VPN server in the US, you will see content intended for the US audience.

If you access the website via VPN servers in the US, your IP address will actually appear like this. By using a VPN, the website will treat you as if you are browsing from the US regardless of where you are.
