Why choose Surfshark for your Netflix VPN?

Prevent activity tracking

Connecting your device to a VPN server is the key to staying safe online. Surfshark encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address so neither we nor anyone else can see what you do online. 

Auto-connect to the fastest server

Although we have plenty of servers, you won’t need to waste time searching for the best one — Surfshark’s Auto-connect feature automatically provides the fastest connection, regardless of your location. 

Secure all your devices at once

Surfshark VPN offers unlimited simultaneous connections. With no need to worry about VPN data caps, you can stay protected not only when you watch Netflix but on other devices as well —  all at the same time.

Install with ease

Setting up a VPN for Netflix doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Surfshark’s complete security suite is extremely easy to install, boosting your online security in no time.

Personalize your security with Bypasser

With Surfshark’s Bypasser (split tunneling) feature, you can choose which apps or services bypass the VPN connection. This can improve performance, making it easier to access services that don’t require complete VPN protection.

Stay safe with Kill Switch

Surfshark’s Kill Switch instantly disconnects you from the internet if your VPN connection drops. This prevents accidental data exposure or leaks, keeping your devices secure at all times.

Can I use a free VPN to watch Netflix?

In the best-case scenario, free VPNs equal slow connection speeds and an excessive number of intrusive ads.

At worst, your data could be sold to third parties, and your device could get infected by malware or malvertising.

You will always be better off streaming Netflix with a paid VPN like Surfshark, both in terms of quality of service and your online privacy.

Netflix libraries vary by country because of content licensing agreements, where rights holders determine which shows and movies are available in each region. As a result, some content may only be available in specific countries.
