How to Watch FANZA from Outside Japan
Learn how to watch FANZA from outside Japan. This guide covers VPN setup, account creation, and how to buy content as an international user.
FANZA (formerly DMM) is Japan's largest adult content platform, home to over 300,000 titles from top studios like S1, MOODYZ, and Attackers.
However, the site is geo-restricted — meaning if you try to access it from outside Japan, you'll hit a block.
The good news? With a VPN, you can unlock FANZA from anywhere in the world. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything step by step: choosing the right VPN, setting up your account, and making your first purchase — even if you don't have a Japanese credit card.
What you'll need:
- A VPN subscription (we recommend NordVPN)
- An email address
- A credit card or prepaid card for payment
Let's get started.
Step 1: Get a VPN
To access FANZA and MGS from outside Japan, you'll first need a VPN. A VPN lets you connect through a Japanese server, making it appear as if you're browsing from within Japan.

Once you have your VPN installed and connected to a Japanese server, come back here for the next step.
Step 2 — Registration (1/4): Go to FANZA
Go to fanza.com and click "新規会員登録" (Sign Up) in the top right corner of the page.
Step 2 — Registration (2/4): Choose Sign-Up Method
On the registration page, select "メールアドレス" (Email address) to sign up with your email.
Step 2 — Registration (3/4): Enter Your Details
Enter your email address and password (8-36 characters).
We recommend unchecking the newsletter option, then click "認証メールを送信する" to send your verification email.
Step 2 — Registration (4/4): Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for an email from FANZA and enter the 6-digit verification code.
If the email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder or make sure info@mail.dmm.com is not blocked.
Step 3: Choose Your Payment Method
FANZA does not officially support international payments — but there are several workarounds that international users have found to work. Choose the method that suits you best.
> ⚠️ Note: Mastercard is very likely to be declined regardless of the payment method you choose (except SEAGM).
💳 Option 1 — PayPal
The simplest method. Link your credit card via PayPal and pay directly.
However, due to recent restrictions, overseas PayPal accounts may be declined.
Worth trying first, but success is not guaranteed.
🛒 Option 2 — Amazon Pay (Recommended)
Create a Japanese Amazon account and pay with your credit card via Amazon Pay.
Higher success rate than PayPal, though setting up a Japanese Amazon account takes a little extra effort.
🎟️ Option 3 — SEAGM (Most Reliable)
Purchase Japanese WebMoney or DMM Point codes from SEAGM and redeem them on FANZA.
Very reliable and also accepts Mastercard — but expect a 5–20% markup on top of the face value.
