How to watch Ozark season 4 and everything on Netflix from anywhere

Ozark season 4 is a Netflix original and will be available to watch on the service in all of the 190 countries where Netflix is available.

Netflix libraries are not the same in all regions, though, and when travelling abroad you may find that your favorite show is not available because the service will match-up with what's on offer in your current location rather than what you normally get a home. You can get around this by using a good VPN.

A VPN is a handy piece of software which changes your IP address to match any location you choose and make streaming services like Netflix provide you with whatever TV shows and films you need.
