Although Netflix Canada has its own variety of unique television shows and movies, there are countless popular flicks that can only be accessed through American Netflix.

Luckily, there is a way for Netflix Canada customers to easily access American Netflix. Using a secure virtual private network (VPN), Canadian customers can gain access to everything American Netflix has to offer, all from the comfort of their homes in Canada.

What Does a VPN Do?

Virtual private networks provide a higher level of security for customers browsing the internet. They work by encrypting data through their servers so that secure information like customers’ IP addresses and locations are hidden from hackers or trackers.

VPNs essentially hide everything you do online and all of your personal information. In addition to providing important security, VPNs also offer the ability to switch to servers in different countries, which is what makes it possible to view Netflix US while still being in Canada.

Step 1: Find a VPN that works

Since using a VPN requires downloading software onto your computer, it is best you use a secure, vetted provider. Netflix blocks some VPNs in the US, so not every service will work. Below we have a list of secure and reliable VPN services that will work with Netflix US.-

• • NordVPN

• • ExpressVPN

• • PrivateVPN

• • SurfShark

• • IPVanish

Step 2: Install VPN Software

Once you choose the VPN service that is best for you, follow instructions on the site to purchase and download the software. You must download the software onto each device you wish to watch Netflix US on individually.

Note: While all of these VPN providers do require purchase, some offer free trials of up to 30 days. Be sure to check if your provider offers a free trial before purchasing.

Step 3: Follow Instructions to Connect to a US Server

Through your VPN service, you will have the option to connect to a variety of US servers. It might take a few tries to get a server that works with Netflix US. If you have any issues, contact your VPN provider’s customer service.

Step 4: Open Netflix and Enjoy

Once you are connected to a valid US server, you can open Netflix as you normally would, and you will have access to everything available on American Netflix. Now sit back, and enjoy everything the American platform has to offer!
