How to change your PSN country on PS4 [Quick Guide]

Here’s how you can set up a VPN on your router using Windows and connect your PlayStation 4 to the VPN.

1. Purchase a premium VPN (we recommend Private Internet Access)
2. Access the PIA Client Area
3. Click the Downloads section
4. Click Go to OpenVPN Generator
5. Select the newest OpenVPN version, the Windows platform, and the region you want to use on PS4
6. Select the UDP recommended port and click Generate
7. Move the downloaded OVPN file to a safe place
8. Sign in to your router admin panel using a web browser (the address is usually http://192.168.0.1)
9. Check if your router supports VPN client mode
10. Locate the VPN client area on your router’s firmware
11. Upload the downloaded OVPN file from PIA
12. On the PS4 home menu, go to Settings
13. Select Network > Set Up Internet Connection
14. Choose Use Wi-Fi > Easy
15. Connect to your home Wi-Fi network

The steps above help you install Private Internet Access on your router. All devices that connect to your router will automatically connect to the VPN server, including your gaming console.

However, if you want to change the VPN server location or protocol, you have to download a new OVPN file from PIA and update the existing OpenVPN file on your router.

An easier way but less efficient way is to share your VPN connection from Windows 10 to your PS4 in wireless or wired mode. Find out how in our VPN setup guide for PlayStation 4.

We recommend Private Internet Access because it’s the best VPN for gaming, featuring an impressive range of more than 23,500 VPN and proxy servers in 99 locations across 77 countries.

You can use PIA to not only change your PSN region but also reduce your ping in multiplayer games.

Private Internet Access

Seamlessly change your PSN region on PS4, secure your Internet connection, and reduce your ping in multiplayer games with this reliable VPN.

Note that some routers allow you to turn them into VPN servers, but won’t provide support for external VPN services. Thus, it’s best to make sure your router can handle third-party VPNs before you try this method.

Last, but not least, connecting your PS4 to the Internet through a PC lets you use a standard PC VPN client. On the downside, it might be a bit harder to configure.

Conclusion

To wrap it up, changing the PSN country on PS4 might not be complicated at all. It seems that Sony lets anyone in and without making any IP- or location-based queries to identify your region.

Sure enough, you won’t be able to purchase any US PS Store content without an American credit or debit card, or without a US PayPal account.

However, third-party sources such as eBay have made it easy to purchase US digital PS Store credit, which also works great with purchasing US content without actually being in the US.
