Save 49% on the best Netflix VPN
SAVE 49%: Access extra libraries of content from around the world with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.41 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.
Netflix has been dominating the headlines recently due to its crackdown on password sharing. We're still processing exactly what this means for subscribers, especially those who travel frequently.
The short answer is that the new rules are going to frustrate subscribers who travel around the world. We always recommend that travellers use a VPN to connect to a secure server back home, but as VPN usage will flag that your account is being accessed from outside your household, there is a chance that Netflix will regularly require verification from you. That's annoying, but that's the new normal.
Subscribers will still need to use a VPN to connect to global libraries of Netflix content, just with the added step of verifying your identity. To make the process as smooth as possible, you should consider a streaming-friendly service like ExpressVPN. It's not the cheapest VPN, but it's tough to beat when it comes to unblocking extra movies and shows on Netflix.
This process is actually really quick and easy with ExpressVPN:
Sign up to ExpressVPN (you can get an extra three months for free with a 12-month plan)
Download the ExpressVPN app to your device of choice (ExpressVPN has apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
Open up the ExpressVPN app and connect to a server in another country
Log in to your Netflix account to watch movies and shows from that location's library
ExpressVPN subscribers get powerful levels of encryption, a built-in password manager, and fast servers in 94 countries. ExpressVPN provides apps for every leading operating system and lets you connect up to five devices simultaneously. It's also on sale for a limited time.
A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.41 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can recover your investment if you're not totally satisfied with the service.
