Want to unlock the full Netflix library with zero hassle and max speed? Picking the right NordVPN server is key. Not every server works with Netflix—but the right ones make all the difference for streaming in 4K, getting exclusive content, or just skipping annoying proxy errors.
“Picture this: You’re traveling in Japan, craving your favorite US sitcoms. You log in to Netflix—only to see a totally different library, or even get a proxy error. This is where the right NordVPN server makes all the difference.”
Why Don’t All NordVPN Servers Work with Netflix?
Netflix’s algorithm is relentless in detecting shared VPN IP addresses.
When thousands of users connect from the same server, Netflix quickly flags and blocks that IP.
NordVPN’s counter-moves:
- Constantly launching new servers and fresh IPs
- Recommending high-numbered servers (these are less likely to be on Netflix’s blacklist)
- Integrating SmartPlay technology (combines VPN and Smart DNS for better streaming)
“It’s a bit of trial and error sometimes, but with NordVPN, I almost always find a server that works after a few tries.”

How NordVPN Outsmarts Netflix
- SmartPlay technology: Automatically combines encrypted VPN and Smart DNS for seamless streaming.
- Obfuscated servers: Hide your VPN use from networks that block VPNs—essential for watching Netflix in schools, workplaces, or restrictive countries.
- Dedicated IP address: (Available for a fee) Avoids most blocks, because you’re the only one using it.
