1. Sign up for a Netflix VPN. I recommend NordVPN.
2. Install the appropriate app for your device.
3. Open the app and select a Netflix VPN server in the USA.
4. Turn the VPN on.
5. Go to netflix.com in your browser, select a video, and enjoy.
Apps will run on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. They include a kill switch and CyberSec. The latter strips out ads, blocks pop-ups, prevents infected web pages from loading and stops your computer from becoming part of a botnet to launch DDoS attacks. The VPN can be set up manually on routers and set-top boxes. NordVPN gives each customer a six-device simultaneous connection allowance.
BEST SPAIN VPN:NordVPN is my first choice for a Spain VPN. The ability to unblock US Netflix is a feature that is usually only available with the most expensive VPN services. You get a 30-day money-back guarantee with your subscription making this a risk-free option.
Surfshark is a budget VPN that is excellent at unblocking. It can help you access Netflix US and more than a dozen other libraries, as well as Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, NBC, CBS, ABC, and many more channels. It operates more than 3,200 servers spanning 65 countries, so you have plenty of choice.
Security is in the form of 256-bit encryption, a kill switch, and leak protection. There are plenty of extras including split tunneling, automatic wifi protection, automatic ad blocking, and an optional private search feature.
BEST BUDGET VPN:Surfshark is a great wallet-friendly alternative that offers fast speeds, tight security, excellent unblocking potential, and no connection limit. Plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Aside from Netflix, ExpressVPN can help you unblock ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, as well as premium subscription online TV services, such as C SPAN, HBO Go, and Hulu, as long as you have accounts with them. ExpressVPN has servers in 94 countries, so you can sample video from streaming services all over the world, such as BBC iPlayer in the UK.
Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Fire tablets, and flashed routers. Five simultaneous connections are allowed on each account. Live chat support is available 24/7.
GREAT FOR NETFLIX:ExpressVPN is another solid pick for unblocking US Netflix from Spain. This service gives you strong security, fast speeds, ease of use, and ability to evade detection. ExpressVPN offers a 30-day no-fuss money-back guarantee.
Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, and Amazon Firestick. The VPN system can be set up manually on Linux computers, routers, and set-top boxes. A subscription includes an allowance of seven simultaneous connections.
Another important feature that you need for streaming video is the great speed offered by this VPN. That high transfer rate and strong privacy protection also make this an attractive VPN for torrenters. Security measures include strong encryption, DNS leak protection, and a kill switch.
Aside from being a poor choice for streaming, free VPNs are typically lacking from a security and privacy standpoint too. They often offer weak encryption (if any at all), and some track user data for sale to third-party advertisers.
Netflix offers a very sophisticated international service. The address for the site is exactly the same all over the world. You access the website in the USA with the address netflix.com. In Spain, everyone uses the same address because there is no netflix.es. This system prevents you from specifying a country version.
The Netflix web server detects the origin of each request for the Home page and sends the version that is appropriate for that country. Your experience of the website is adapted to the country of your location from then on.
When you log in to an account for the first time, the system stores your username and password in a cookie on your computer. So, on subsequent visits, you will be logged in automatically. When you no longer need to log in, you are taken past the Home page in the local language straight to the viewer selection page, which will be displayed in your profile language.
Netflix owns a lot of English-language videos that it has the right to show in Spain. You will only notice if some options are missing if you were already halfway through watching a series in the USA and that option does not appear in the video library that you see from Spain. Take a look at the following screenshot of the video library in US Netflix:
This demonstration gives you an accurate understanding of the situation with Netflix when you move from one country to another. Because of the ability of the system to present the website in your home language, the whole site seems exactly the same. Also, because Netflix buys the right to show a lot of US entertainment in a lot of other countries, such as Spain, the video library will seem, at a cursory glance, to be exactly the same. It is only when you look for a specific title that you will realize that there is a difference.
You can see that you will get plenty of US videos to watch when you are in Spain. However, if you plan to be there for a while, you will soon run through the backlog of unwatched videos and new videos are not added at a pace that could keep you entertained daily.
A VPN will divert your traffic through a server location that you choose. All of your internet communications get forwarded on by the VPN server with its address as the origin of the request. If you choose a VPN server in the United States, your requests will arrive at the Netflix server with a US return address on them. This will fool Netflix into giving you the US version of the site, even though you are in Spain.
