NordVPN

ITS GOT ALL THE THINGS YOU’D WANT IN A VPN.

NORDVPN IS A service that ticks all our boxes: Netflix, no logging, global reach, proxy servers, kill switch, unthrottled peer-to-peer and high speeds. Connecting to servers in the US and Australia, we consistently hit speeds over 23Mbps, which is more than enough for HD Netflix streaming. NordVPN also offers the ultimate in anonymity: not just anonymous sign-ups with Bitcoin but also a unique Tor-over-VPN service that hides your online activity even from NordVPN itself.

As with most VPN providers, not every NordVPN server will defeat the Netflix block, and you will likely have to contact support (live chat is available 24/7) to find a server — although heading to nordvpn.com/servers and looking for Ultra Fast TV can get you started as well. Netflix-capable servers are available for US, UK, Canada, Netherlands, France, Italy and Norway.

The client itself is capable. There’s leak protection and a kill switch, but our favourite part is that it lists servers by current load. That makes choosing a server to connect to so much easier than the usual lottery. Up to six different devices can connect at once on a single account.
