SAVE 83%: ExpressVPN is a streaming-friendly service that can access bonus content from around the world. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN(Opens in a new tab) is on sale for £85.52 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


Netflix offers an absolutely massive range of hit movies and shows, as well as plenty of stuff you're never going to want to watch. Netflix might offer a massive library, but some streamers will still want more. If you're one of these greedy individuals, you could benefit from subscribing to a VPN.

Netflix recognises your location when you sign in to stream, so you only get access to the shows and movies from your location's content library. With the help of a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a server in another country, meaning you get access to all the content from that location. It's really not that complicated.

How do you unblock American Netflix?

Follow these simple steps to unblock the American Netflix library from outside the U.S.:

  1. Sign up to a streaming-friendly VPN like ExpressVPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (leading VPNs offer apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the U.S.

  4. Log in to Netflix to watch movies and shows from this massive library

The process is quick and easy with a streaming-friendly VPN.
