TL;DR: ExpressVPN is the best service for accessing extra Netflix libraries. Unblock German Netflix with ExpressVPN.


VPNs are incredibly useful services for protecting your online data and identity, but we know why you're here. You're here to stream more content from around the world.

If you're interested in unblocking German Netflix from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

How to unblock Netflix Germany for free

VPNs can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a server in Germany. This process makes it look like you're connecting from Germany, so Netflix provides you with access to all the shows and movies from that location's content library.

Unblock German Netflix from anywhere in the world by following these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN)

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

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

  4. Sign in to Netflix

  5. Watch German Netflix from anywhere in the world

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but they do tend to offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By taking advantage of these offers, you can unblock and watch German Netflix without fully committing with your cash. This is clearly not a long-term solution, but it gives you plenty of time to stream any shows and movies on your list before recovering your investment.

What is the best VPN for Netflix?

There are many VPNs that can reliably unblock extra Netflix libraries, but ExpressVPN is tough to beat for a number of reasons:

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is always secure

  • Fast streaming speeds free from throttling
