Start Watching Now with NordVPN For the 20 million-30 million Russian nationals living outside the borders of the Russian Federation, finding quality children’s programming and family movies in Russian can be a tough ask. Unfortunately, when they try to visit the Russian version of the Disney website, they are instead taken to the version of said site in whatever country they are currently living. While some of the programming might be the same, the language barrier significantly dials down the watchability. Fortunately, there is a simple and completely legal solution for this problem. The answer is to overcome the Russian Disney Channel’s geo-blocking tendencies by using a virtual private network (VPN).
How does a VPN work?
Any data or information passing between the two computers cannot be seen by any third party, legitimate or otherwise. When uploads or requests from the home computer reach the remote one, they are decrypted, assigned a new IP address, and sent on to the website of choice. The website download requested information to the remote server, which encrypts it and passes it along the secure connection to the home computer, which decrypts it. In the case of attempting to access a geo-blocked website, the user chooses a remote server located in the website’s home country. When the remote computer sends information with the new IP address, the website recognizes the IP address as acceptable and allows the user to being downloading information, allowing you to watch the TV programs you want regardless if you’re in Bangkok, Bali, Boston, or Birmingham.
