With over 10 years of experience he has become the go-to guru for streaming content from home and abroad.
In this guide I’m taking a look at 5 Top VPN services that work with Netflix allowing you to access other regions and gain access to more and better content.
If you haven’t previously heard of a ‘VPN‘ then they’re an essential app for watching Netflix.
A VPN allows you to hop onto another country’s Netflix catalogue and watch their selection of movies and shows. Each country has a different selection.
Using a VPN app will allow you to watch these and the best thing is you can use your regular Netflix account to login.
VPN services have in the past been blocked from accessing Netflix for this very reason but there is a good selection that works. Below I’ve rounded up the 5 VPN services you really should know about for using with Netflix.
1. ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN has connection points in 94 countries and most importantly of all, they work extremely well with American Netflix.
As American Netflix has the greatest number of movies and TV shows it’ll be the one you want to access the most.
ExpressVPN works with Netflix across all devices and they currently support Android, Apple iOS, Amazon Fire TV/Fire Stick, Windows, Mac OS and Linux devices. This will allow you to watch Netflix on any kind of device or set-up.
One of the best features is they’ve got a 30-day money back guarantee. If you can’t get it working or you decide you just don’t want it then you can get your money back.
2. NordVPN
NordVPN is another excellent provider that works extremely well with Netflix.
Their apps are really easy to use which is one of my favourite features. NordVPN only allows access to American Netflix so you won’t be able to watch other regions.
However, you can watch American Netflix from any of their locations. If you’re in Australia, for example, you can simply connect to Australia and be able to watch American Netflix. This gives you the best possible speeds.
They’ve also got a sweet 30-day money back guarantee. This gives you plenty of time to test their service without worry. If you change your mind then get a refund.
3. CyberGhost VPN
CyberGhost VPN work well with multiple regions of Netflix.
Not only can you access American Netflix but you’re also able to access Netflix from the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Denmark.
Their app even has a dedicated mode for ‘unblocking streaming’ and Netflix is one of the options.
Their service has the added bonus of a massive 45-day money back guarantee. This allows you plenty of time to test it thoroughly with the different Netflix regions.
4. StrongVPN
StrongVPN is another VPN provider that works well with American Netflix but isn’t so good at letting you access other regions.
American Netflix has over 50% more movies and TV shows than most other countries so it’s the Netflix region you’re going to be most interested in watching.
Apps are available for all major devices including Android and Apple iOS and Windows and Mac.
Again there’s a 30-day money back guarantee. If you’re not totally pleased with the service you can simply get a refund and switch to one of the other providers above.
5. VPN.ac
VPN.ac is the smallest provider listed here but don’t let that put you off.
Often VPN services get blocked from Netflix due to their size. With fewer users using the VPN.ac service to access Netflix it allows them to fly under the radar.
Prices are cheap when taking an annual package and their apps are really easy to use. Like NordVPN all servers allow access to American Netflix regardless of what country you connect to. This gives you a definite speed advantage so you won’t suffer any buffering or speed loss.
There’s a 7-day money back guarantee and while it’s not as long as the others it should be enough time for you to make your mind up.
Conclusion: Best VPN services that work with Netflix
All five providers above work well with Netflix.
It’s important you don’t just choose one at random from searching Google because many VPN apps are blocked from accessing Netflix.
I’ve tried and tested all 5 above and over the last couple of years they’ve been the ones that consistently work well. A few have had an odd occasion where they’ve stopped working for a few days but soon been back up.
I recommend using ExpressVPN for Netflix but if you’ve got time have a look at all the services as you might find one you like more than the others. Don’t forget they’ve all got money back guarantees just in case you aren’t totally satisfied.
