How to Use Prime Video in Germany with a VPN

Step-by-step setup

1. 1

   Get a VPN rated for Prime Video

   Amazon Prime Video has lighter VPN detection than Netflix or Disney+ but still geo-restricts content by country. CyberGhost maintains US and UK servers with clean, non-blacklisted IPs that work consistently with Prime Video.

2. 2

   Download and install the VPN app

   Install CyberGhost on the device you'll use for Prime Video. Available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android from the provider's website or your device's app store.

3. 3

   Connect to the right server

   Connect to a US server for Prime Video Originals and the largest catalog. UK servers give access to British Originals and Amazon's UK-exclusive content. Prime Video is less aggressive about blocking VPN IPs than Netflix — standard VPN servers often work without needing streaming-optimised ones.

4. 4

   Open Prime Video and verify access

   Open Prime Video and navigate to a title — if it plays, you're connected correctly. If you see "This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location", switch to a different server in the same country. Prime Video occasionally detects VPNs on first load but clears after a server switch.

5. 5

   If access is blocked

   Prime Video's geo-enforcement is less aggressive than Netflix — if a server is blocked, simply switching to another in the same country resolves it in almost all cases. See our Prime Video troubleshooting guide for edge cases.
