Why do you need a VPN to watch Taken on Netflix from anywhere?
Netflix uses geo-blocking techniques that prevent users from accessing all content in their country, without licenses. It makes sure that every regional content library has movies and shows that are licensed for streaming.
For now, Netflix only has the right to stream Taken in a few countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, etc. Therefore, apart from these countries, the movie is missing from other libraries.
For example, I searched for the movie on US Netflix, and it only gave me related titles and Liam Neeson movies instead of the actual movie because it was missing.
If you live in a country where the movie is missing, you will need a VPN app to unblock and watch it.
A Virtual Private Network redirects your traffic through an external server located in another country. This way, your real IP address is hidden and you get a new IP address.
To watch the movie, you can connect to a server in the Netherlands. When you visit Netflix, it will think you are in the Netherlands, rather than your actual location, and will unblock the international library where the movie is available to watch.
Is Taken Series on Netflix?
Both seasons of the Taken series left Netflix in January 2021 and you cannot watch it on Netflix anymore. However, you can watch the Taken series for free on Prime Video India, Pakistan, and a few more libraries.
It is not available to stream on Prime Video anywhere else, so you will need a VPN to watch the series for free.
