Thanks to the proliferation of streaming services in the US, tons of hugely popular titles like the aforementioned The Office have moved to other sites – but in the UK, many of these are still available on Netflix. That’s the last you’ll hear of them in this article. Finally, VyprVPN and IPVanish weren’t able to unblock US Netflix and – spoiler alert – they couldn’t unblock any other countries either. Surfshark also had a few problems with US Netflix, and while I was able to unblock content, it was only about 30% effective. Thankfully it did, and I was able to watch exactly what I wanted. NordVPN, ProtonVPN, CyberGhost and Hotspot Shield impressed, and unblocked Netflix on each server I tried.Ī week or so ago I was having a few issues with ExpressVPN and US Netflix, but after a quick chat to a customer support agent I was informed that the Los Angeles – 3 server should be working. Probably the most popular location for those looking to evade geo-blocks, US Netflix is home to a whole host of shows and movies unavailable anywhere else, like Radium Girls, Rain Man, and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.īecause of that, it’s usually fairly easily accessible when using a US VPN, but it was by no means a clean sweep in my testing.
However, all the providers I’ve tested offer at least a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can make sure you can unblock what you want before committing.
NB: While I’m confident these tests are correct at the time of publishing, be aware that we’re seeing a lot of changes pretty quickly in this area.
So, if you’re wondering whether ExpressVPN can still unblock US-only Netflix shows or if NordVPN can get you access to The Office on Netflix UK, just check the relevant sections below for the in-depth results – or reference the table for quick info.
It’s worth noting that during these tests I used the automatically selected regional server to reflect the average user, although if I had issues I’d manually select another. I tested the paid-for versions of ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, Hotspot Shield, CyberGhost, IPVanish, VyprVPN and ProtonVPN in five different locations, and during each test for each location I changed the individual Netflix VPN server a number of times. Now the dust has settled and the providers have had time to develop their solutions, I thought I’d see how they’ve improved – if at all. Let’s just say that the results weren’t stellar. About a month ago I wrote an article (opens in new tab) exploring how a number of the best VPN services had been affected by Netflix’s new blocking techniques.
