It is a bad news for all Netflix users that Netflix is blocking VPN. Netflix US has richer library than other Netflix. Now users from outside US can't access Netflix. One of my friends suggest me to use https://www.hide-my-ip.com/ VPN. He told me that it is working perfectly. Anyone using this VPN?
Haven't tried the VPN your friend suggested, so can't comment on that. Nevertheless, I use a provider called surfshark. If you are interested, I can verify that as of today it unblocks US, AU content.
NordVPN is working perfectly fine and unblocks Netflix, Hulu, and other services without any problems. The speeds are also blazing fast.
