Are you traveling or living outside the USA and want to gain access to US Netflix? How can you watch US Netflix with all its magnificent content? Suffer no more. Here you will find all the information you need to stream the American library from anywhere in the world.
There are many people who want to access US Netflix even if they live elsewhere. The reason is simple: US Netflix is one of the largest libraries, and many consider it the gold standard of all Netflix regions. Here is exactly how you can watch US Netflix abroad in 2026.
Updated Information for 2026
It is important to know that Netflix does its utmost to block VPN and SmartDNS providers. Because of this, you will find many outdated online instructions describing methods and VPN services that no longer work.
However, you do not have to worry! This article is updated regularly to ensure it is fresh with new content and accurate technical advice for 2026.
The USA is known as the home of the movie industry, with Hollywood producing some of the world’s biggest blockbusters and iconic TV shows. In 2026, the United States continues to boast a massive Netflix catalog, offering a vast selection of movies, TV series, documentaries, and original content. This extensive library is the primary reason viewers use a VPN to access Netflix’s U.S. content abroad. A VPN allows users to bypass geo-restrictions, giving them access to the full range of American movies and shows, including exclusive Netflix Originals that may not be available in other countries.

Currently, the most reliable and effective way to stream American Netflix outside the USA is by using the VPN services of NordVPN. Their services have worked consistently with American Netflix for years and also grant you access to other popular regions like Canada, Germany, and the UK.
Minions on US Netflix
NordVPN has a fantastic offer if you sign up for a long-term plan. You will typically get extra months for free and a much lower monthly fee than if you sign up for only one month. Best of all, NordVPN has a 30-day full refund policy, so there is no risk involved!
How can I watch US Netflix with NordVPN?
- Visit the NordVPN website and sign up.
- Download their application and install it on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
- Open the application and connect to a server in the USA.
- Restart your Netflix application or refresh your browser.
- You can now stream American Netflix with NordVPN.
What makes this even better is that you can use NordVPN on multiple devices simultaneously. This means you can stream American Netflix on one device, watch the BBC in the UK on another, and use a third device to watch live sports elsewhere. With NordVPN, you will also enjoy 256-bit AES encryption, ensuring that neither your ISP nor anyone else can spy on your online activities.
What to Watch on American Netflix in 2026?
Here are some suggestions for what to watch on American Netflix right now:
- The Postcard Killings
- Fury
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie

- Queenpins
- The Legend of Tarzan
- Loudermilk

Watch US Netflix with PureVPN
If you want to get US Netflix access, another great option is the VPN provider PureVPN. They have a 31-day full refund policy, providing one of the most reliable money-back guarantees in the business today.
Once you have the PureVPN application installed, select “Streaming” as your activity and then select Netflix as your channel. Once you connect to this server, you will automatically get access to American Netflix. PureVPN can be used on many devices simultaneously, meaning you can share the subscription with friends or family or keep your credentials for your own personal devices.
As you look through the PureVPN application, you will quickly notice that you can use it to unblock many TV channels and streaming services worldwide, ensuring you always have something new to watch in 2026.
Why is American Netflix So Popular?
Why are people in Australia, Canada, and all across Europe—from Sweden and Germany to France and Italy—constantly looking for ways to watch American Netflix?
The reason is simple: we all want access to the best content. Netflix in the USA remains the most popular region because it often gains access to big titles several months before they appear anywhere else. It is the Netflix region with the highest volume of content, which results in more movies and TV shows to enjoy.
Watching blockbuster movies on Netflix
Many blockbusters hit American Netflix long before they appear in local catalogs. If you want to stay up to date with the latest cinema and TV, the US library is the place to be.
Are you ready? Visit the NordVPN website and get access to American Netflix today. By clicking the link, you can secure a significant discount on your subscription. Don’t forget that you can also use your VPN to explore other regions like the UK, Japan, and the Netherlands!
Get ready to watch US Netflix abroad, be it in Australia, France, Japan, or maybe in Canada.
I just updated the article with lots of new information and even more detailed information on how you can stream American Netflix in Australia, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and all across the globe! Cheers!
This has got to be the best site for those who want to get access to other NEtflix regions… it is all updated and working. Thanks!
Glad to finally visit a site that has updated information. I was especially looking for information on how to access German Netflix, and here I found it… and it’s working. Thanks a lot! 🙂
I just updated the front page and lots of sub-articles to make sure that they are up to date. The front page has been updated with information about the EU regulations, and also with information on a VPN provider that will help you get access to lots of Netflix regions at the same time. Hope you will find the updated instructions useful. If you have a question or a comment, please write!
I just tested the services described in this article, and I can confirm that they both work perfectly with American Netflix as of June 2018. Enjoy streaming Thor: Ragnarok and Star Wars: The Last Jedi on American Netflix, and of course all other content you might be interested in!
This sucks that you have to pay for an extra server to watch Netflix one is already paying for.
Not fair.
But that’s the way of all corporations and governments, right?
Well… you are not really supposed to be able to stream content available in other Netflix regions, so that is quite nice of Netflix to actually let you access other Netflix regions with the same subscription. If you compare it with Amazon Prime, then Netflix is way nicer. To access Amazon Prime content in the UK you need a subscription in the UK. To access US Prime content, you need a prime subscription in the USA. With Netflix, one subscription is enough to access Netflix in all nations. The only you need to access Netflix in another country is therefore either a VPN that will give you access to the nation, or to actually move and physically reside in that given nation.
Hello,
I suggest that you check out this article for more information: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/watch-thor-movies-netflix/
I want to watch the Thor movies on Netflix? Do you know in which Netflix region I can watch all of them?
Thanks for your comment. I follow the instructions here as well (using StrongVPN), and now I am watching Suits on English Netflix!! Thanks
Just tried it with HideMyAss and it works as of today (October 3). Might not work tomorrow, but hope it will! Things change awfully quickly.
I could just stream Beauty and the Beast on American Netflix thanks to the VPN service recommended here!
Thanks for these instructions! I wanted to watch Suits season 7 and noticed in your article that it could be seen on UK Netflix, so I followed your instructions to watch UK Netflix and now I can stream the new episodes every single week. Thanks a lot, and glad to find a site that is updated with info, not only about how to access American Netflix, but several other regions as well!
HideMyAss worked for a few months with US Netflix, but it seems to have stopped. There are however other methods working, so just read through the instructions in this article, or read the designated article on how to access US Netflix, and you will find a working method right away!
Just wanted to watch HideMyAss with US Netflix, but it doesn’t work. A few weeks ago it worked… do you know anything?
You are totally correct. I updated this article a few days ago to reflect the fact that ExpressVPN no longer work with Netflix in England, but it still works with Netflix in the USA and some other regions here and there.
Just wanted to watch Netflix in England with ExpressVPN, but doesn’t seem to work. Am I doing something wrong, or isn’t it working anymore?
I just followed your instructions and signed up for HideMyAss. I connected to the Liberty Island server, and guess what… it works! I can now stream great content on US Netflix in Europe, and in about two weeks I can stream Star Wars: Rogue One on US Netflix as well.. Thanks for keeping the article updated!
Hey James,
I just wanted to tell everyone else that when this comment it was written, it was true, but as of now, it seems as if HideMyAss no longer work with US Netflix. I have updated the article to reflect this information, and I no longer recommend HIdeMyAss for the purpose of streaming Netflix in the US anymore.
Hi Martin,
thank you for asking! Netflix is as of today unavailable in China, meaning that the video streaming service is not available in the country. China has other video services, but has not opened the doors for Amazon Prime nor Netflix. But, it is possible to use a VPN like described in this article, and if you follow the methods mentioned in this article you should be able to stream Netflix in China! I suggest that you have your VPN subscription in order before traveling to China so that you are ready from the first minute.
If you have trouble, simply contact ExpressVPN (or PureVPN) or your VPN provider and ask them for specific help, but I do believe you should be able to fix this without any such help!
Is it possible to stream US Netflix in China? I trust your article, but I have heard so much about how it is hard to get access to international content in China, and that China has a big firewall blocking access to Instagram, Facebook etc… What about Netflix in China? Do they have Netflix at all in China? Can I stream US Netflix in China?
I have no idea, hope it is better today 🙂
What’s wrong with Netflix UK today? Its buffering like hell since morning.
Good morning TJ,
there are loads of websites out there with information on how to stream Netflix and get access to other Netflix regions that are completely out of date, so your question is 100% valid. Luckily this site is not like those, as I continuously test the methods described and also use them myself. You can therefore try them and feel safe, as these methods will work and help you get access to other Netflix regions easily.
Are these instructions still working? So many VPN providers are blocked, and my provider just blocked me out from Netflix. Are the providers described here really working? Is the information here up to date?
New Zealand
i’m using purevpn but it doesnt seem to be working on netflix since I keep getting the M7111-1331-5059 error code. any suggestions?
Hey there, I just followed these instructions myself to check it out based on your comment, and currently I am watching The Jungle Book on US Netflix… maybe you should contact the PureVPN support for more help?
I suggest that you contact their customer service and ask them for advice and help. If it doesn’t work, ask for a refund! 🙂
I am in the USA and would like to watch Dutch netfllix. I downloaded the program, changed my location to Amsterdam.. but I get the following message…
This site can’t be reached
http://www.netflix.com refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
if you are using purevpn you need to set the network server device for purevpn to the DNS name: abc1.ptoserver.com
and you also need to select the security setting of remote/dedi IP in the purevpn app.
Don’t know at the moment 🙂 Guess you will have to stay with the Netflix region you are currently in, or maybe go for US Netflix!
Israel?
Do not have any solution for this available at the moment. Sorry about that!
How about the Caribbean (Jamaica & Cayman Islands)
You should probably go for a solution in which you use a VPN to access US Netflix. That should still work and thus you can continue watching whatever you started watching in UAE!
Hi ! I don’t miss Netflix in UAE as such, but just that I had subscribed to it while in the UAE and would like to continue watching some of the episodes during my frequent trips to China. When I try to access it in China, it says Netflix not available in your country yet !
Just visit Netflix.com and go ahead and watch! If you want access to US Netflix in Greece, follow the instructions at the top of this article!
how can I watch Netflix in greece
You just open Netflix.com and you will be able to watch Netflix in Turkey. To get access to the UK Netflix catalog you need to follow these instructions:https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-uk-netflix-vpn-use/
hi I’m in turkey now and have a Netflix account in England. what do I need to do to watch it here?
StrongVPN has not been working for some time now and no workaround available; Proxy errors also from Geflix and Unlocator.
I tried StrongVPN just now and it works. Tried ExpressVPN a few hours ago and that worked as well. Should be easy to get access to US Netflix if you want to 🙂
just finished setting up a wrt1900acs with expressvpn firmware and it is giving me the proxy error… it was working before with the manual DNS… how frustrating
I suggest you contact ExpressVPN on this issue. Maybe you are connected to a server that is not working with your router, and it could be modified?
Take a look at the different articles to find information about the region you are interested in watching while in Cape Verde 🙂 Or give the Netflix there a try first, and then consider changing region!
Hi there
Clearly from looking at your other posts you can only recieve the Netflix content in that particular country. I’m going to Cape Verde in a week, what would you advise?
Thankyou in advance
Donna 🙂
As far as I know Netflix should be available in Belize… so should work on your laptop or phone or tablet, just notice that you will only enjoy access to whatever is available on Netflix in Belize 🙂
I will be vacationing in Belize and our hotel will not have a tv. Can I watch Netflix from there? I wasn’t able to use it in Costa Rica but I didn’t even realize it until we were there.
You only need one Netflix account to access Netflix in these various nations!
Khurram is here!
Hi all of you thanks for this comments
I just want to know I have Netflix in uk can I have accessed in Pakistan and Saudia if I go and visit and I can use same accounts
Yes, you can 🙂 But, notice that you will not get access to the Norwegian content, only the Netflix content available to the people in the Philippines!
Hi!
I have a netflix account in Norway and gonna travel to the Philippines. Can I use my norwegian netflix account there?
Thank you!
Just open Netflix.com and you can watch Netflix in the Czech Republic. To access another Netflix region follow the instructions in the different articles on the top in this article!
I travel often to the Czech Republic and would like to access Netflix there
If you want to watch Netflix using a VPN subscription as described in many of these articles you will have to pay for that, in addition to your existing Netflix subscription.
have i to pay for watching netflix with these website?
Coming up in a few days 🙂 Until then you could consider Australia which is very similar to New Zealand, but will post an article on watching New Zealand Netflix from abroad as well soon!
Hey, can you write an article to New Zealand Netflix ? Thank you so much!
I am not 100% sure, but what exactly do you miss about Netflix in UAE? Follow these instructions to access UK Netflix instead, as I believe you will find everything there that is in UAE as well, just much more… Would that work for you?
I have a Netflix account in UAE. How can I watch it while in china ?
Why would you want access to Netflix in Saudi Arabia? Not to be rude, but there is not really much stuff there, so you can get the same content plus much more in almost any other region! 🙂
How about Saudi Arabia….?
Here you go. Enjoy watching Icelandic Netflix: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-icelandic-netflix/
Will write an article on it within a few days ! 🙂
Iceland?
You are currently watching UK Netflix, so enjoy 🙂
I have my Netflix account in UAE, I am in UK right now and my Netflix is working fine. Is it my UAE Netflix or UK’s?
Version 1:
Could not find aywhere to write :
write the following server into the field: abc1.pointtoserver.com
Are you using this in Windows, or are you connecting on another platform?
It’s on my ipad (PureVPN app)
You can manually add this server on your iPad or add it as a dedicated IP in the PureVPN app on iPad, but it doesn’t seem to work anyway. As far as I know Netflix has added some block in their Netflix application that makes this not working, even if the IP address you get should be working. I will look into this, I think ExpressVPN should be working with US Netflix, at least on Android (can not guarantee it though), but I would ask their customer service first. I would also contact the PureVPN customer service to hear if they can help you out!
netflix isn’t working anymore. I’m using express vpn and can’t access it.. code 10012 proxy error
I suggest you ask ExpressVPN and their support. If they can’t help, maybe you will have to try another solution instead, but I do think ExpressVPN should have a working solution somewhere! 🙂
You can watch Netflix in Luxembourg, but if you want to gain access to different regions, follow one of the instructions and guides available on this site!
Hello! Your Netflix subscription will work in Spain, but you will loose English subtitles and in some cases English audio, but not necessarily. There will also be some modifications concerning what is available on Spanish Netflix vs UK Netflix.
Any idea how to obtain Net flix from MAURITIUS please. Also where do I need to have a subscription , UK would be ok for me
Thanx Richard
Follow the instructions in this article. If you do not yet have a Netflix subscription simply visit Netflix.com to sign up. If you can not sign up at your current location follow the instructions in this article to get access to US Netflix and once you have done so, sign up first for an account and then go ahead and watch!
Hi ,
Can I have it in Luxembourg City ? Thank you. Gaby
I’m visiting Mallorca from UK. Will my UK subscription cover me in Spain? Will the audio be English or Spanish?
You can use your Netflix account in Croatia, but you will get access to Croatian Netflix while in Croatia. That means you will not see the same material available as you do when you visit Netflix.com in the States, in the UK or wherever you live. To get access to your original Netflix region follow the instructions on how to get access to the different Netflix regions.
Is it possible to access my Netflix account from Croatia?
Netflix will of course work, and if it is in the Netherlands I guess you will access Dutch Netflix. If you want to change to another country, follow the instructions at the top of this article!
Netflix will work in Turkey, but you will only access Turkish Netflix. If you miss anything from your local UK Netflix, follow these instructions to access UK Netflix in Turkey: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-uk-netflix-vpn-use/
Will Netflix work in St Marteen (dutch side not frech st Martin)
Does it work in turkey and also if we are on holiday from uk do the shows change ?
This is how you can access South African Netflix: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-south-african-netflix/
You can watch Netflix in Thailand, but you will only get access to Thai Netflix, meaning that lots of the content available in the US, in Canada or in the UK will not be available there. To get access to such Netflix content in Thailand, follow the instructions in the different articles linked to at the top of this article!
Yes, it will work, but you will only get access to Greek Netflix. If you want to get access to Netflix content in other regions, follow the instructions found on the top of this article.
Will Netflix work in Crete, Greece ?
Any chance of viewing in Thailand
Will come back with an article on this in a couple of days 🙂 Until then you can also watch Suits on Canadian Netflix (which also has lots of other great content). https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-canadian-netflix/
Hi – I was watching the series Suits with my son in South Africa on Netflix but can’t view it here – can you post access to South Africa?
I’m going to Malta and wanted for the children is it available there
Netflix is available in Morocco, but notice that you will only get access to whatever is available on Netflix in Morocco (which is quite different from US Netflix, Canadian Netflix and so on). If you want to get access to material in some other Netflix region follow the instructions in one of the articles which can be found on this site).
Hi Is there a Netflix service in Morocco? If so can you add it to your list?
Yes, you will get access to Bulgarian Netflix while in Bulgaria, even though you signed up in the UK. If you want to access UK Netflix while in Bulgaria, follow these instructions: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-uk-netflix-vpn-use/
Hi have British account can I watch in Bulgaria??
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that a VPN provider and its services will last for an unlimited amount of time, so there is little that can be done. You could ask their customer service, but if you use Hotspot Shield then you can still use that to access some other Netflix regions as well.
I purchased Netflix from the US and had to subscribe Hotspot in order for to watch Netflix movies in the Philippines. The first few months it went well and I gave up watching due to the fact that I can no longer watched Netflix movies. Every now and then I’d try but it keeps giving me “whoops…and an error code. Now I’m getting streaming and something to do with “blocker”. I’m not a computer literate.
How can I get to use what I’ve paid for, for a year, when it keeps blocking me?
I use ExpressVPN but it doesnt seem to be working on netflix since I keep getting the M7111-1331-5059 error code. any suggestions?
Try using the Express VPN Hollywood server 🙂
You do not need an extra Netflix subscription in order to watch Netflix in France, but you can use your current subscription. But, as you visit Netflix while in France you will get access to French Netflix and not Irish Netflix. If you want to get access to US Netflix while in France or in Ireland, follow these instructions: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-us-netflix/
Hi i am signed up to Netflix in Ireland. I am going to Fraance this Wednesday on Holidays. If I could get access to my Netfiix there would be really great. would you be able to help with that please??
Alternatively, accessing the US netflix would work for me too!.. but Im not signed up to that.
Haven’t got a solution for it yet, but there seems to be very much in common between Costa Rica and Mexico, so could it work to follow these instructions? https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-mexican-netflix-south-american-netflix/
how about Costa Rica
You can watch Netflix in the Czech Republic as well, but you will only get access to whatever is available in Czech Netflix. If you want to gain access to UK Netflix while in the Czech Republic you should follow these instructions: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-uk-netflix-vpn-use/
I’m based in UK but going to Czech republic for 2 weeks. Any way to watch Netflix there?
Is there a way to access US Netflix without having to pay for it?
That’s a great question, but not that I know of. It is hard enough to find a working method that you have to pay for, so do not think there are good working methods available 100% for free.
Google for ChillGlobal. They give you 20 hours a month for free. And it’s fast. But from my location, only US netflix works. If I want to watch Australian (they have Interstellar) then it is blocked. So I guess ChillGlobal will soon be blocked as well.
You can use your current Netflix subscription in UAE, but you will only get access to stuff available in UAE. If you want to get access to Spanish Netflix and whatever is available there while in UAE you need to follow these instructions: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-spanish-netflix/
Hey I have a spanish Netflix how do I watch it in the UAE?
What do you want to know? Would you like to access Netflix in UAE from some other nation?
Read this article. https://fromabroad.org/netflix/can-watch-japanese-netflix-abroad/
Please include information on Netflix in UAE.
i have the same proxy problem, i live in the Marshall Islands and my netflix on my ps4 works but all my other tablets and tv’s doesn’t work. any advice
Japan?
You can now find out how it is done in this article: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/watch-italian-netflix-abroad/
To see all the films you added in Norway you need to get access to Norwegian Netflix again. This can be doing following the instructions in this article. https://fromabroad.org/netflix/can-get-access-norwegian-netflix-abroad/
I was in Norway and logged into my Netflix account. I added a lot of movies to my list that were available there, but now back in the US, they are no longer listed anymore. How can I see those on my list again?
You open Netflix.com, press My Account and then under the Membership and Billing section you will see on the right a grey button saying “Cancel Membership.” 🙂
I wish to leave Netflix.. How do I do so?
I am having problem finding a solution to this, but I will look further into it and create an article as soon as I have a solution!
The instructions can be found here: https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-portuguese-netflix/
Hi can you please add Portugal?
Thanks a million!
Hello, I would like to access to the Italian Netflix? Any solution for that?
Follow the instructions in this article (just published it): https://fromabroad.org/netflix/get-access-french-netflix/
I would like to have access to Get access to Netflix Fr (French Netflix). Do you know how I can do that?
It seems as if it is hard to get this working with Unlocator now as well. But, please follow what’s written on our front page as we constantly update it with information on how you can watch Netflix in different regions! Unlocator is not a good option at the moment, but there are other options!
Even after setting up DNS with Unlocator, I still cannot watch my US English Netflix in Spain. This is crap!
Unlocator works now, also as SmartDns proxy!
How do these regional restrictions apply if I use satellite internet?
Running into the same problem – have a NL subscription, but traveling outside the NL, I can’t access the NL content (with NL subtitling, etc) anymore.
Talking to Netflix support, this they claim this is done because it’s a legal issue, however this is TOTALLY INCORRECT. As a NL citizen, with a NL account, I have a legal right to see NL content, even if I am in a different country. (This comparable with television content, e.g Canaldigital, where you can take your (satellite) subscription and travel within Europe on holidays, etc).
Can understand that there are commercial reasons to release content per region/country, however what is currently happening is that Netflix denies a person access to it’s own countries content, based on the location that the person is currently at.
This is specifically Netflix madness ..
The madness is not from Netflix, but from big movie business; they want to protect their stupid way to distribute movies around the world. As always, it is only a way to squeeze as much money as possible from the public.
However, Netflix, as a streaming service is beyond and ahead of regions and SHOULD be trying to protect the people who send them their moneys every single month to pay for the streaming services.
There is no sustainable reason why Person ABC in the USA should have a “right” to watch Movie MNL before Person XYZ has the same right in Country KBC. All the people in the world who pay the fees they are requested to pay should have the same rights concerning the contents to watch.
Netflix is being pressured from the Big Movie Business for the Monopoly Money Sqeezing Game. This should end soon, but only if and International Equal Rights Commission is presented, understood and respected as deserved.
If you want to watch in France I recommend that you try Unlocator first and setup their DNS service and set your Netflix region to France. Or if you are in France use Unlocator and set the Netflix region to USA (Usa 1, Usa 2) and you will be able to watch US Netflix in France 🙂
So I’m confused…it says it serves France, so if I am going to France, can I get to my US based Netflix account or do I still need the PureBPN app?
The thing that really sucks. I travel and I can’t even watch the catalog of shows available in the country I am in. Two hotels, my work and my apartment. I can’t stream netflix because they say the ISP is using a VPN. They went a step too far in the madness. So, basically can’t watch from a hotel anymore… 🙁
Glad you were able to arrange it:) Have you found a way to watch Netflix in El Salvador, or are you still looking?
Please, no need to publish my previous comment. I have been able to handle the issue with PureVPN
Just wanted to say that Unlocator is updating servers all the time, so you should try again, because I believe they are working in most Netflix regions again! 🙂
I have noticed… I will update the article within shortly with some even more updated information! And Unlocator is also working on solving the issues!
Unfortunately even the unlocater service is not working anymore. Netflix is going mental about proxy at the moment
