A good VPN lets you switch between Netflix libraries around the world — including the much larger US catalogue — from the comfort of the UK. But Netflix is strict about VPNs, so only the best providers do it consistently.
We tested each VPN below against US, UK and several other Netflix regions. All unblocked multiple libraries in HD or 4K without buffering.
Unblocked more Netflix regions than any other VPN in testing, with the speed for 4K streaming.
NordVPN is our top pick for UK users in 2025. It pairs class-leading speeds with rock-solid security and unblocks every major UK streaming service we tested, all backed by an independently audited no-logs policy.
Beautifully simple apps and dependable access to US Netflix and beyond.
ExpressVPN is the most user-friendly VPN we have tested. If you want something that simply works — fast, secure and effortless on any device — it is well worth the premium price.
Unblocks Netflix reliably and lets you cover every device in the house on one plan.
Surfshark offers the best value in the VPN world. You get premium features, strong UK streaming support and — uniquely — unlimited simultaneous connections, all for a couple of pounds a month.
Install one of the VPNs above, connect to a US server, then open Netflix. Your catalogue will switch to the US library. See our full guide for step-by-step instructions.
No. Using a VPN is legal in the UK. Switching Netflix regions may breach Netflix's terms of service, but it is not illegal — the worst case is the connection being blocked.
