- PrivateVPN isn't as well known as some of these guys.
It's a small VPN with a tiny server fleet
but it still claims to be able to conquer Netflix.
Can a VPN with so few servers actually get
around the tough and nasty Netflix firewall?
And if it does work with Netflix are there any issues
that still make it not worth your time and money.
In this PrivateVPN Netflix Review 2021,
I'm gonna show you
whether PrivateVPN Netflix claims hold water.
I'll also test whether it's fast enough to stream smoothly.
If it can unblock these popular libraries.
And if it's good enough to compete with the top VPNs.
But first for VPN reviews,
full of stuff you wanna know about
and the latest hottest tech news sub to this channel
Here it begins.
I'm in the UK myself.
So my Netflix is locked to this region.
There's so many awesome shows
I can't access from here such as Twin Peaks and Futurama.
When I searched these titles, Netflix says,
sorry, no can't do.
Now I'm gonna try out PrivateVPN streaming on Netflix
and show you exactly how to watch US Netflix
from outside the US with PrivateVPN.
First, got to open the PrivateVPN app,
head to advance view and next to location, select Change.
Go to all servers and choose a US server,
quite a few steps but there are simple enough.
Back in your main window, hit Connect.
Now refresh your Netflix page.
If you're using the Netflix app,
you may have to close and reopen it.
My homepage has changed,
this is Netflix US in all its glory.
I'm gonna search for the shows
I couldn't find before once more.
And now Netflix actually lets me watch them.
Don't mind if I do.
Okay, so PrivateVPN streaming works with Netflix.
I've shown you how to watch American Netflix.
Are there any other PrivateVPN Netflix libraries?
The popular anime show, The Seven Deadly Sins
isn't available for me in the UK but it is in Japan.
Obviously, here's how to change the Netflix region
where you can watch shows from all over the world.
Just hop back over the PrivateVPN and pick a server
that's in the country you wanna stream from.
If I pick a server in Japan and refresh my Netflix,
search for the show again, here it goes,
press play, The Seven Deadly Sins I was looking for.
What about the UK?
I'm gonna test it out by switching to Netflix US
then searching for the American version of The Office
which isn't available in the US.
See, it's not here.
However, when I switched to a UK server,
hit Refresh and search it, it shows up.
You can see that it's possible
to access Netflix UK with PrivateVPN.
These are some of the most popular options
but there are many more PrivateVPN libraries to explore.
I know that some of you are asking right now
I've connected via private VPN,
why is PrivateVPN Netflix not working?
This is a common issue that happens
with even top VPNs when Netflix blacklist gets updated.
And that means that the shared IP you were using got banned.
Luckily, the solution for this is straightforward.
Just change to a new server in that region.
You may need to do this a couple of times.
PrivateVPNs website also has to handy lists
of their current, most effective Netflix servers.
Now speed and servers are generally
the most important features
when it comes to streaming with a VPN.
We've seen that PrivateVPN doesn't have a lot of servers
but somehow it still works.
This is because the service
is actually optimized for streaming.
The IP addresses are updated regularly
which helps to keep it ahead of Netflix blacklist.
And it still has a lot of locations to try out.
Okay, so what about speeds?
PrivateVPN has not adopted
the fast new WireGuard totally protocol.
But my PrivateVPN speed test shows
that PrivateVPN 2021 still manages
to be fast enough for streaming.
You can get your movie fixed in high definition
with minimal buffering.
PrivateVPN improves its performance
by skipping hosting companies and other middlemen
and buying internet capacity straight
from IP transit providers, this lowers latency as well.
So PrivateVPN can stream
but how does it compare to the top dogs?
When I compared my PrivateVPN speed test results
with NordVPN, Express VPN and Surfshark performance results,
NordVPN and surf sharp were faster
but surprisingly Express VPN and PrivateVPN performed
pretty much the same.
All these services successfully unblocked
multiple Netflix libraries too.
So what about pricing?
PrivateVPNs pricing plants are truly budget friendly.
Even the one month option is a great price
compared to other VPNs.
There's a seven-day free trial
and a 30-day money back guarantee
though you need to use under a 100 gigabytes of data
to qualify for that.
It's pricing it's actually better than every one
of the other top VPNs
I'm comparing it to in this review.
So my verdict on PrivateVPN
is that its streaming performance keeps up with the best
but it's pricing it's easier on your bank account.
