How can I check which country I’m streaming Netflix from?

You can easily verify the streaming region Netflix assigns to you. This is helpful when using Smart DNS to ensure it is active.

Method 1: Use Netflix’s own test page

Netflix provides a built-in diagnostics page that shows your current region.

  1. Open a browser on the device you’re checking.

  2. Go to:

    https://www.netflix.com/title/80018499
    
  3. If the page loads, scroll to the bottom and look for the “Available in X country/countries” label, or try playing the title.

    • Content that is exclusive to a specific region (e.g., US-only titles) is often used to identify your streaming country.

Method 2: Use a regional-exclusive title

A quick practical test:

  1. Search for a title that exists only in a known region (for example, many US-only or UK-only shows).

  2. If it appears and plays, Netflix is treating your connection as coming from that region.

Method 3: Check Netflix’s “Help → Diagnostics”

  1. In the Netflix app or browser, open Help.

  2. Select Diagnostics or Check your network (naming varies by device).

  3. Some devices display the detected Netflix server location, which can closely match your assigned region.
