Is there a best free VPN for Netflix?

Unfortunately, there isn't. While you can find many free VPNs online claiming to unlock Netflix, they can't. Sooner or later, you will be blocked by Netflix again.

How can I get rid of the Netflix proxy error?

Netflix proxy error shows up when the service detects your web proxy or VPN and blocks your IP. To fix this error, try switching your server and see if it works with Netflix. Besides, you can fix this error permanently by abandoning your current strategy and using a robust VPN.

What does 'Proxy or Unblocker' mean in the Netflix error?

Since Netflix has implemented regional blocking on its content, anything attempting to evade this restriction is an 'Unblocker' for it. In other words, anything that Netflix detects to reroute the internet traffic to show a fake IP address is an 'Unblocker.' Since you use a web proxy or a VPN to unblock the content, Netflix asks you to turn off your 'Proxy' or 'Unblocker.'

Can I turn off my 'Proxy' or 'Unblocker'?

Yes, you can. Go to the menu of your proxy or VPN and turn it off. But remember, doing so will make you compromise your online privacy. You can instead choose and keep a robust VPN activated that remains undetected by Netflix.

Why does Netflix restrict VPNs?

Netflix bans VPNs because they help people to bypass geographic licensing restrictions. So, you will be caught in the crossfire if you use a VPN for other reasons. Netflix would breach the licensing agreements if it allowed users to stream content in whichever region they want.

Why do we encourage you to use a VPN with Netflix?

A VPN isn't just a tool to bypass geo-restrictions. It can do much more, and we encourage you to use a VPN whether you are subscribed to Netflix or not. For example, it encrypts your traffic and data, keeping snoopers and other malicious actors away. Also, a VPN will prevent ISP throttling, improving your internet speed significantly.

How can I watch Netflix on a device that does not support my VPN application, like smart TV, Chromecast, Xbox, Apple TV, and PS4?

Some devices don't support VPNs, but you can install a VPN app on your router and route your device's traffic through it. However, your router should have the latest firmware, like DD-WRT or TomatoUSB. Most providers offer setup tutorials on their websites. Alternatively, you can also purchase a VPN pre-configured router. ExpressVPN has a good one.

Is a US payment method necessary for American Netflix?

There are other ways to subscribe to Netflix US if you don't have a US credit or debit card. For example, you can use virtual cards, prepaid cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), PayPal, or Netflix gift cards. Remember that you don't need a US payment method to watch Netflix content in the US. You can subscribe in your country and use a VPN to bypass geo-blocks.
