How to access all of Netflix's country catalogs

How to access all of Netflix's country catalogs

Express vpn deal

After having travelled for the previous months around Europe, I’m now in Luxembourg where I will be based for the next month. I’m super happy that the block of flats that I’m offer 100mbit internet connection! Perfect for catching up on my TV shows.

I already have a US Netflix account and I just found out from a colleague that you can use VPN provider to access all of Netflix’s country catalogues. I’ve signed up to few providers to give test the speed quality (used the 30 day money back guarantee). Here is what I found.

Hide My Ass! has a huge a variety of servers to choose from and probably the largest VPN provider out of the list. I made sure I had auto path enabled, so I was always connected to the fastest server. Streaming was really fast and no lags. IPVanish was just the same, but wasn’t a fan that it took a little while to get response from their support team, when I asked them what was the fastest country to connect to. Here is a ranking table I’ve made:

This maybe controversial to some, but after trialling and testing a number of VPN providers, HMA! was a clear winner. I recommend checking out the review for an in-depth analysis, but I’ll note a few key points here. Their VPN infrastructure is very impressive, the range of countries is huge and the fast connections speeds means I could stream video without any buffering or lag. The quality of software is solid; so no weird crashes or bugs to be found. Their interface is slick and fast so I can get a secure connection to a VPN server win under 10 seconds. Support was very responsive, they have a 24/7 support team in Belgrade and they are incredibly friendly. I didn’t have any issues, but I tested the email support and received a response in under 30 mins. All of this with a 46% discount on their 12 month plan makes this incredibly good value for money.

IPVanish

IPVanish was another VPN provider which scored highly in our tests. They have a very clean record (e.g. no bad press etc…) and a provider that I rarely hear bad things about in forums. From my tests and other 3rd party tests done by other VPN critics speed was always very fast. The flip side I see to IPVanish is their range of countries isn’t as extensive as HMA, so I feel I’m sacrificing choice for faster speeds. Most people won’t have a problem of this, so it comes down to what your needs are. The VPN client is while basic does the job very well. You don’t get the power features from HMA and the GUI isn’t as pretty, but as you can guess from this summary IPVanish is a nofrills high speed VPN provider, so it deserves a very high second place.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is the new kid on the block as it came to the scene fairly late. Their entry came with the aim to disrupt the VPN industry and they did everything right the first time. All their applications (desktop and mobile) are very stable. I think their mobile app is the best in the industry with smooth integration with android and ios platforms. Their server network, while bigger than IPVanish doesn’t top what HMA have on offer. As an expat, my main use case for a VPN provider is to unblock streaming sites and anonymise my activity, which ExpressVPN does very well without confusing me with any technicalities.
