How to Watch Bilibili Outside China
Bilibili is a popular Chinese video platform with anime, gaming, vlogs, and community content that is geo-blocked outside China. To access the full Bilibili catalog from abroad, users can subscribe to a VPN with China or Hong Kong-based servers and connect before opening the site or app. Reliable VPNs like NordVPN, Surfshark, and Proton VPN provide suitable server options to bypass restrictions. If you see error messages, try clearing cookies, switching servers, or restarting the VPN app. Be aware that free VPNs rarely work for streaming, so a paid service with strong geo-unlocking features is usually required.
