Best VPN for Netflix
Netflix shows a different catalog of movies and shows depending on your country — that's a licensing-agreement condition with the studios, not a technical limitation. A VPN changes your visible IP address, which can make the service think you're in a different country.
The catch is that Netflix actively blocks IP addresses belonging to known VPN providers, so whether a specific server works is never permanent — what worked yesterday might not work today. Below are services that claim their own support for unblocking streaming.
How we choose: This shortlist includes services tagged "Netflix/streaming" in our catalog — that's how providers describe themselves, not an independent test of specific servers.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Netflix sometimes still detect a VPN?
Netflix maintains its own database of IP addresses belonging to data centers and known VPN providers, and blocks them in batches. Providers update their servers in response, so the situation keeps changing.
Which server should I pick within a country?
If the catalog didn't unlock on one server, try another one in the same country — large providers have dozens of them, and not all get caught in blocklists at the same time.
Is this legal?
Bypassing geo-blocking may violate Netflix's terms of service — that's on you as a user, not something a VPN provider guarantees or endorses.
