Want unbridled access to the Netflix library? Turboflix might just have something for you.
About Turboflix
As the second half of their name might suggest, Turboflix has one very specific streaming service it’s targeting (Can you guess what it is?). They’re all about you and your Netflix library, and making sure that you have access to just about everything that Netflix offer, anywhere in the world.
It’s an attractive offer, one that will appeal to many Australian users. They even have a snappy, Michael Bay style trailer on their website that tells you everything you need to know about the service with a few glorious explosions thrown in for good measure.
Is using a VPN to access geographically restricted content legal?
There are many legitimate uses for a VPN. However, the legality of using one to access geographically restricted content is a bit of a grey area. While you're not likely to attract the attention of the Australian Government, you do run the risk of having your VPN or streaming subscription cancelled. There is also the chance that a copyright holder may want to pursue legal action if you're found to be accessing that content in an unlicensed region. Keep in mind that the very nature of a VPN masks your IP and prevents your online activity, so it's not for us to say if and how the copyright holders would be able to identify you if you do choose to access their content without the proper licensing. Here at finder.com.au, we do not encourage internet browsing activity outside the law, we only aim to compare the services available to Australians.

Turboflix will run on just about any gadget in your household. From games consoles, smart TV’s, set top boxes to Blu Ray players, and, of course, PC’s and tablets.

What is a VPN and how does it work?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a simple internet application that, essentially, creates a private network just for you. It was originally created, and is still used to allow businesses to access their internal computer system safely from external locations, but more recently private Internet users have also found a use for VPNs. A VPN masks Internet browsing by hiding your Internet Protocol (IP) address, behind another IP address, often in another region of the world. This allows for a safer internet experience, no tracking and (as the Turboflix name might have given away) access to restricted content from around the world that is otherwise geo-blocked.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch Netflix through Turboflix?
The name is not just a coincidence. Yes, one of the services that Turboflix aims to connect its users with is Netflix services from other locations. However, you cannot watch Netflix anywhere unless you’re signed up to Netflix. So if you wanted to watch Netflix US through Turboflix, getting Turboflix would not be enough. You would also have to subscribe to Netflix US.
Can I watch BBC iPlayer on Turboflix?
There are many global streaming services that will become available to you once you begin using a VPN, among these is BBC iPlayer. For a full list of channels available check the website of whichever provider piques your interest.
Can I get the Australian Netflix with Turboflix?
You don’t need a VPN to access Australian Netflix since we are already in Australia. But you could still use a VPN if you wanted to protect your privacy online.
I was charged $59.76 on the 14th Sept 2016. Can you please explain what this charge was for? The description on my statement is Turboflix PayPal.
