How to get an IP address in New Zealand?

New Zealand is the land of the Maoris, of the Lord of the Rings and of so much more. If you live in Europe New Zealand might seem to be very far away, and that is in fact true. So to move to the nation is quite a ride, but to virtually move to the country for some minutes, hours or days can be fixed easily. Keep on reading this little guide telling you how to get an IP in New Zealand.

There are several ways in which you can get a New Zealand IP address. If you have quite some computer skills you can make arrangements with some friend or family in New Zealand. The arrangement is that you can connect to their computer, using it as a proxy server, and thus you get to surf like a native Maori. However, if you just need an IP in New Zealand and do not have any friends to call or simply wants to get it fixed and arranged with easily and quickly, then a VPN connection is a much more easy way of doing it.

What is a VPN?

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. That might not mean to much to you either, so let me explain some more. As you use a VPN you will connect to a computer or a so-called VPN server. Once connected you will enjoy the rights of that given server. If that server is located in New Zealand you will get the rights of the server, meaning that you will get an IP in New Zealand. In addition to providing you with such an IP address, it will also encrypt your data, making sure that none can steal private information such as passwords, VISA card numbers and so on. Again, using a VPN is not only about getting an IP address somewhere else, but it is also about watching out for your self and your private information online.

Get an IP address in New Zealand

To get an IP address in New Zealand I recommend the usage of the VPN services of ExpressVPN (read my review here) or the VPN services of NordVPN (read my review here). They are both great VPN providers with servers in lots of countries all around the world. And yes, they have servers in New Zealand, making them both ideal if you just want to get a local IP address in New Zealand, or if your goal is to watch the live streams of TVNZ or some other channel in New Zealand that is blocked with geo-blocks.

Not only can you use NordVPN and ExpressVPN to get a New Zealandi IP address, but you can also use them to stream Netflix content in different countries, to watch TV channels like ORF in Austria, ProSieben in Germany, and of course, BBC in England.

• Visit the ExpressVPN website (with big discount)
• Visit the NordVPN website (also with a great discount)

If you want to buy a VPN subscription for only one month, the prices are somewhat similar. But, if you plan on purchasing a subscription for one year or a longer period of time, you will save quite a lot of money buying a NordVPN subscription (compared to an ExpressVPN subscription).

Are you ready to surf with an IP in New Zealand?

Have you follow the instructions? Did it work for you the way you hoped for and planned? Do you have any questions related to getting an IP address in New Zealand, or maybe about the VPN providers themselves? Write a comment and let me know what's on your heart!

If you have a VPN subscription like this, you can also use it to watch the Norwegian TV channel NRK abroad.
