Today, I will show you how to use ExpressVPN to unblock Netflix, particularly, the U.S. and the UK libraries.
ExpressVPN unblocks more than 20 Netflix libraries, making it a great option if you want a VPN provider to support your streaming activities anonymously. To start, you need active subscriptions for both ExpressVPN and Netflix.
If you don’t have an ExpressVPN subscription yet, feel free to click on the description link in the description below which will take you to my exclusive discounts page where you can get the cheapest ExpressVPN plan available.
Now, Let’s get started!
I’ll check some shows first that are only available if you are in a certain Netflix library. In short, the shows that you can only watch if you are located in that specific country. Here’s a list of some geo-based shows on Netflix and for this tutorial, we’ll just use the U.S. and U.K. versions of The Office as I want to show how ExpressVPN works in unblocking the U.S. and UK libraries.
First, I searched for American Assa ssin but both versions are not showing up in the results as my original server is in the Philippines. Now, let’s do the magic by connecting to the ExpressVPN U.S. server. Going back to Netflix, American Assassin U.S. version is now available here unlike before and I can even watch it without any lag. When I connected to the UK server instead and searched for American Assassin, it now shows the UK version and just like the U.S. version, this show doesn’t seem to buffer at all.
You can also go ahead and try unblocking other Netflix libraries in different countries by using the shows on the list we have visited together earlier. Share your experience and let me know your thoughts on the comments section below.

Right nw, my computer shows a very stable VPN connection that provides good-quality shows. It’s because ExpressVPN also offers the fastest streaming speed among other VPN providers out there. To see if it’s true, I did a speed test using the Ookla Tool to get the comparison between my original speed and ExpressVPN’s speed.
Since I’m already connected to the U.S. server, I’ll go ahead and run the speed test which gave me a speed of 22 megabits per second.
Then, I disconnected from ExpressVPN to see my original speed which is now at 27 megabits per second. This means that the speed difference is not that much and the percentage reduction is only at 18 percent which isn’t bad at all, most especially when it comes to its impact on streaming.
Aside from Netflix, you can also experience smooth streaming on platforms such as Disney Plus, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, ESPN, HBO, DAZN, Sling, Hulu, and many more.
If you’re particularly concerned about torrenting and P2P, worry no more as ExpressVPN also supports these services with their high-security features.
Summary
Overall, ExpressVPN is a highly-recommended VPN provider for streaming Netflix and a bunch of other platforms.
