Does Netflix Work With ProtonVPN? – How to Use?

Netflix, as a streaming platform, only provides streaming services with content specific to a country. So the content you see as a Netflix user in India will be different than what someone in the US or UK will see. So does that mean that you will have to miss out on the content available in other countries? If you connect to your network without a VPN client, then evidently, you will only get content exclusive to your country. However, if you do use a VPN client and connect to a server from a different country, then technically, you should be able to watch content from that other country. But Netflix is well aware of it, and it, therefore, bans most of the VPN servers.

So does that mean you can’t use VPN to watch other country’s Netflix content? Well, not really. As we have stated above, Netflix only bans most of the VPN services, but not all. So if you use a VPN client that Netflix cannot detect, then you will easily be able to watch any country’s content you want. So the question that arises here is which VPN client you should use for this cause? Well, ProtonVPN made by Proton Technologies AG is one VPN client that you can consider. So how does the ProtonVPN work? How can you use it to stream Netflix content from a different country? Let’s find out in this article.

What is ProtonVPN?

The Swiss VPN solution ProtonVPN supports P2p traffic, which means that you use this VPN for torrenting as well as for the Tor browser. As to ensure protection, ProtonVPN maintains a strict no-logging policy assuring its customers that no amount of data from the VPN traffic is being monitored or saved. Besides this, ProtonVPN ensures security with a kill switch, DNS and IPv6 leak protection. It also offers an alternative routing mode to bypass firewalls and fix specific networking issues.

The ProtonVPN comes with two modes of subscription. One is the free plan that offers you a VPN service without any time limitations and any form of payment. The other is the premium or plus plan that gives you an additional set of servers that have their own set of benefits. We will come to this later in the article.

So does Netflix work with ProtonVPN?

Well, surely it does but it comes with a catch. To be precise, ProtonVPN claims support for only Netflix US, UK, Italy, and Germany. If you want content from any other country, then you will have to look for another VPN. Furthermore, ProtonVPN works with Netflix only if you are using the ProtonVPN Plus version of the program. The free version’s servers don’t work with Netflix. So if you want to keep watching Netflix from other countries using ProtonVPN, then you will have to subscribe to their premium plan. Now, as an introductory offer, ProtonVPN does provide a free trial of the Plus version of the application, but that is for a limited time. After that, you will have to pay the premium. But if you are someone who is looking for a VPN for Netflix for only a few days, then ProtonVPN would be the right choice.
