Netflix and other streamers split their catalogues by country, so the right VPN turns one subscription into dozens of libraries. We ranked the 4 that unblock streaming most reliably. Here is how they compare.
| VPN | Rating | Price | Servers | Devices | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NordVPN | ★★★★★ 4.8 | from $3.39/mo | 6,400+ servers, 110+ countries | 10 | Best all-rounder for streaming |
| PureVPN | ★★★★☆ 4.4 | from $2.11/mo | 6,000+ servers, 70+ countries | 10 | Best value on multi-year plans |
| Surfshark | ★★★★★ 4.6 | from $2.19/mo | 3,200+ servers, 100 countries | Unlimited | Best for households / many devices |
| ExpressVPN | ★★★★★ 4.5 | from $4.99/mo | 3,000+ servers, 105 countries | 8 | Best for speed and simplicity |
NordVPN is our top pick: it unblocks the most Netflix regions reliably, is fast enough for 4K, and covers 10 devices. The alternatives: PureVPN (best value on multi-year plans), Surfshark (best for households / many devices), ExpressVPN (best for speed and simplicity).
Using a VPN is legal in most countries. It can breach Netflix’s terms of use, so check yours; in practice the worst case is being nudged back to your home library. We only list VPNs known to work reliably with streaming.
A good VPN costs you very little speed. Every VPN here is fast enough for HD and 4K; ExpressVPN and NordVPN are the quickest in our testing.
Find the show on our site to see which countries still have it, connect your VPN to one of those countries, then open Netflix and log in as normal. The show appears in that country’s library.
One more thing a VPN is good for: streaming services charge wildly different prices by country. Our sister site itscheaper.in tracks where the same subscription costs less, using the same trick.
