Amazon Prime started life as a convenient online rental service, and the company added video streaming of select movies and TV programs in 2012.
Amazon Prime video stream vpn Turkey Today, the service offers an online film and television catalog extensive enough to compete with services like Netflix.

As of late 2016, Amazon does offer their streaming services in countries around the globe, including Turkey. However, their content catalog might not be as extensive as the one they provide in the US.

Unblocking the Geo-block

TurkeyGeo-blocking is not just limited to streaming services as some countries use it to restrict and censor content. Thankfully, there are ways to get around these regional obstacles.

If you want to bypass the geolocation restriction on Amazon Prime, you need a VPN service, because this allows you to obfuscate your real IP address by connecting to a proxy server instead.

If you’re in Turkey and connect to an American proxy, the Amazon servers can’t differentiate this from your actual location and allow you to access the US Amazon Video catalog.
geo web For this step-by-step procedure to bypass geo-blocking, we do not recommend using a free service as they tend to limit your bandwidth and are not as secure as paid service providers. While most VPN services do not offer an extended free trial, almost all offer some form of money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.

We recommend using NordVPN or ExpressVPN for streaming Amazon Prime Video outside the US.

These services both offer unlimited bandwidth to keep up with the large video file transfers, and an expansive server network.

To bypass the geo-blocking restriction:

  1. Install your chosen VPN app.
  2. Sign into your VPN account. If you haven’t set up the account at this point, follow the onscreen directions to sign up for service and choose your subscription plan.
  3. Select a server within the United States.
  4. Once connected, navigate to Amazon.com and log in to your Amazon Prime account, select your favorite Prime show or movie and enjoy.

You must already have an Amazon Prime account to enjoy Prime video streaming. Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for US customers, with monthly or annual payment options.

What Keeps You from Watching Amazon Prime

United States shows, as well as shows created in other countries, are restricted by copyright and distribution laws, making them only available within the nation of origin, or elsewhere licensed, meaning they cannot be streamed in all other countries.

Websites and services like Amazon can determine your location because the server you use to access the internet sends a data packet containing the information to theirs. If the data doesn’t match the acceptable country code on the server’s list, they automatically block the content.
