Get a Norwegian IP address – Step by step

Are you ready? This is not going to be hard, so just follow these instructions.

------------------

1. Purchase a VPN to get a Norwegian IP address

A VPN is a tool that is used to secure your data online. It is frequently used by people working from home in order to secure their data online, but it is also used among people who would like to change their IP addresses.

What is a VPN?
A VPN is encrypting your data online. All your data is encrypted and sent through a VPN server, and thus, all websites will believe that you are located at the location of the VPN server. This will also change your IP address. As a result, if you connect to a VPN server in Norway, you will receive a Norwegian IP address.

There are many VPN providers available, but the best options for those who want to get a Norwegian IP address and who would like to unblock Norwegian streaming services and TV networks are:

SurfsharkVPN and ExpressVPN are the best VPN services for those in need of a Norwegian IP address. If you would like to watch content on Norwegian Netflix, SurfsharkVPN is the only service worth taking into consideration. But, if you want to watch videos on VG.no, watch NRK abroad, and to surf securely with high download speeds, then both ExpressVPN and SurfsharkVPN will serve you well!

2. Connect to a VPN server in Norway

When you have purchased a VPN subscription, download the VPN client to your computer, telephone, tablet, or smart TV. When you have done this, select Norway from the list of countries and connect to a server.

It will only take some seconds, and you will be connected to a VPN server in Norway.

CONGRATULATIONS!
If you have followed these instructions, you are now surfing the Internet with a Norwegian IP address!

You can now visit NRK.no and stream NRK content, you can visit tv2sumo.no, and also enjoy other streaming services and websites available only to Norwegians.


Is it legal to use a VPN?

It is very legal to use a VPN. In fact, those people who make up the laws are most likely using VPN connections themselves in order to secure their own data and the information they send. During the outbreak of COVID-19 in March and April 2020, lots of people who previously hadn’t used a VPN started to use different VPN services due to the enormous number of people suddenly in need of extra security online working from home.

As you use ExpressVPN or Surfshark, do not forget that they both have full refund policies valid for 30-days. That makes them both harmless, and there is no risk involved in trying any of the services. Both of them will let you use the same subscription on multiple devices simultaneously, meaning that one subscription is enough for all your devices, and even for the rest of your family members.

Surfshark and ExpressVPN can also be used to get a Swedish IP address, a Danish IP address, and to get a local IP address in more than 60 other countries. They can also be used to watch BBC and ITV in the UK online, and to unblock streaming services in the USA like Amazon Prime, Netflix, PeacockTV, Paramount+, HBO Max, Disney+, and lots of other services.


It is really easy to get that IP address in Norway. If you want to check your current IP address, you can do so right here. There you can also check that you have actually received your local IP address in Norway after you have followed the instructions in this article.
