- Netflix has content of every kind
but not everyone can access it all.
Using Netflix with VPN
can help you access geo-restricted content.
But Netflix is constantly upgrading its tech
and blocking VPNs.
So, the question is, which Netflix VPN 2022
is still successful at unblocking Netflix?
We've tested lots of VPNs and today I'll share our results.
I'll list only those providers,
which were successful at unblocking
multiple Netflix libraries and did that consistently.
Keep watching to find out my recommendations
for the best Netflix VPN in 2022.

A lot of VPNs actually aren't good for the task.
It all began in 2017,
when a number of VPNs were effectively blocked by Netflix.
VPNs generally route a large number of users
through single servers
and hide users' identities behind related IP addresses.
While this works great for privacy purposes,
it also allows Netflix to detect patterns
or similar IP addresses and then ban them.
There are only a select few VPNs
that have been successfully able
to evade the recent Netflix crackdown
and theses are the best Netflix VPNs for 2022.
I narrowed down these VPNs
based on their ability to unlock certain Netflix libraries,
modern protocols and great speeds, country selection
and a decent number of servers,
availability of apps for all major platforms, pricing
and gave bonus points if the VPN had smart DNS
or dedicated IP servers.
So, let's get down to my list.
For me, first up is NordVPN.
It gives access to around 5,100 servers
in around 60 countries,
allowing you to access libraries of Netflix UK,
US, Canada and many more.
This VPN uses the proprietary
NordLynx tunneling protocol,
which means that you don't have to worry about NordVPN
compromising your streaming speeds.
It also allows you to have six simultaneous connections.
Plus Nord has dedicated apps
for services like Amazon Fire TV Stick,
AndroidTV and Kodi.
On top of that, it offers the smart DNS feature,
which is really neat when you want unrestricted access
to streaming content on any Smart TV.
Personally, the pricing looks fair,
around $3 a month with long-term plans.
If you're not exactly sure about its capabilities,
you can use its seven day free trial for Android devices.
And if you're not happy with a service,
NordVPN also has a 30 day money back guarantee.

There are discounts applied already.
Next up SurfShark VPN,
which checks all of the right boxes.
And it's one of the most effective VPNs for me.
It has around 3,200 servers in around 65 countries
and it unblocks Netflix libraries from Netflix US
to Netflix Japan.
SurfShark VPN has a wire guard which provides fast speeds,
never experienced issues with that.
Plus there are apps for Amazon Fire TV Stick and Android TV.
To access Netflix on your Smart TV,
you can install SurfShark on your router
or utilize the smart DNS feature.
The thing I like most is that SurfShark offers
unlimited simultaneous connections,
plus the pricing is legit.
Starting as low as around $2 per month,
and you can get a free trial on mobile devices and MacOS.
The next VPN for Netflix 2022 is PrivateVPN.
As the name suggests,
this VPN is excellent for privacy and security,
but that doesn't mean it's any less impressive
in it's Netflix unblocking capability.
PrivateVPN has more than 200 servers in around 63 countries
and has consistently been able
to unblock Netflix libraries all over the world,
even though the server number looks pretty small.
PrivateVPN has dedicated servers for streaming Netflix,
Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, and more.
So there's always a range of options to choose from
up to your movie nights.
You can set up your router with PrivateVPN
to protect your entire home network
and stream Netflix without any worries.
You can take PrivateVPN for a spin
with its seven day free trial
and pay as little as almost $2 per month afterward.
If you're only interested in the one-month plan,
it's one of the cheapest providers for that.
Next up is Atlas VPN Premium.
Famous for the pretty sweet free plan,
if you wanna get access to the Netflix US library,
then you don't need to look any further.
Atlas has over 700 servers spanning more than 27 countries
so it's pretty global, just like its name implies.
I unblocked Netflix without any problems
and it didn't compromise my streaming speeds
mostly because of the wire guard protocol.
Atlas VPN doesn't support Smart TVs
or other peripherals as of yet
so you won't be able to set it up
through a router connection.
However, the VPN does allow you
to connect to an unlimited number of devices
with one account.
I'd say it's a really fair deal
as the price is around $1 per month.
Atlas VPN also offers a standard 30-day,
money-back guarantee.
And last but not least, I have IP Vanish,
which also does a great job
of consistently unblocking Netflix,
making it a solid Netflix VPN 2022 option.
IP Vanish has more than 1,900 servers
in more than 75 locations.
And it is able to unblock Netflix
as well as platforms like Vudu, HBO GO,
as well as free services like YouTube.
When I tried it out,
I was able to successfully unblock
both the Netflix US and UK libraries.
IP Vanish is also one of the only VPNs
to offer a native app for Amazon Fire TV Stick
and has apps for all major platforms,
including Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android,
FireTV, Windows Phone, and Linux.
You can even install IP Vanish on your router
for network-wide protection.
Though smart DNS isn't available so far.
Just like SurfShark and Atlas VPN,
it allows unlimited simultaneous connections.
So you can make the most of their services,
all for pricing plans that starts around $3 per month.
All five VPNs I've talked about
are successful at unblocking Netflix.
But if for some reason, Netflix stops working with your VPN,
try clearing your cache and cookies,
switching VPN servers,
restarting Netflix, checking for IP and DNS leaks,
and if all else fails,
contacting the customer service of your VPN.
I've talked a little about speed so far,
but generally speaking,
all the VPs on this list have good speeds.
Your speeds will depend on a number of things,
including how far the server is from your current location.
If you choose a server that's close to your home country,
you'll get the most optimal connectivity and speeds.
