I want to watch a movie that’s not available on any streaming services in my country, so I was wondering if I can use a VPN to rent it from another country. Does anyone have experience with this on Prime Video specifically?
Unfortunately, Prime Video doesn’t allow VPN use with their app.
What movie are you trying to watch?

No, I only found reaction videos, not the full movie.
You must have missed it, I found it right away by searching for ‘Shin Godzilla full movie’.

Can you share the link with me, I couldn’t find it.
I sent you a direct message with the link, check it out.
While you can try using a VPN to rent the movie, Prime Video is pretty good at detecting them, and you might run into payment issues if your account and payment method don’t match the region. Worth a shot, but no guarantees.
Do you want to pay for a VPN service just to rent something that’s not available in your country, and risk having your account deleted if they find out?

I have a free VPN that works, but the only issue I ran into was that the address associated with my card wasn’t from the country I set it to, so it didn’t work. Luckily, I found the movie elsewhere.
Just find a torrent, lol.
I’ve found that using a VPN that provides a dedicated (private) IP usually has a better chance of working with streamers when outside the USA. For example, I recently tried a Prime movie while outside the USA, and it worked with some ads and gave me the option to subscribe to ad-free. I selected ad-free, but got a message saying I wasn’t eligible. So, I activated my VPN and was able to subscribe to ad-free. A VPN can work with Prime under certain circumstances and depending on your VPN configuration.
You can watch it for free using the ‘Mirarr’ movie/TV app (Android) on GitHub.
Download ‘Onstream’, it’s all free there.
