My personal experience of testing 13 VPNs on their Netflix performance.

2019.08.17 17:32 Robintaiji My personal experience of testing 13 VPNs on their Netflix performance.

09/19/2019 Update:
  1. BonusVPN. Very satisfied, especially the BonCoin program. Tried this BonusVPN extension after receiving the product launch notice. They gave me free 5GB as an early adopter, pretty happy about that. I believe they still offer 2GB free trial to every new users. Very very unique design, never seen this kind of design before, seriously! Switching server only takes one second, love it! I'm very satisfied with the BonCoin program that you can share bandwidth to earn free data and redeem some gift cards. I was a little worried that someone may use me as a node to download illegale torrent, but this extension only workds with Netflix, problem solved. I've earn about 1300 BonCoin, 1700 BonCoin away to get a $30 Netflix gift card. I think I'm gonna switch from SaferVPN to this if it works well for the next two weeks. Because it's data plan conbined with the BonCoin program really saves a lot money!! Feel a little disappointed that it only offers US, UK and Turkey servers, but the speed is pretty fast in my area, plus my favorite show is on UK now. Customer support person syas the team will add more servers later on.
2. Wachee. Tested Wachee, it works well. But to be honest, I'm less attracted to it beacuse after using BonusVPN's BonCoin program, I don't really want to swith back to other VPNs that can not offer free data. But Wachee is a fine Netflix VPN, it offers what you need.
-------------------------------------
I was looking for a VPN to watch US Netflix and found most information online was outdated. Especially some VPNs were reported to support Netflix, but their servers have been banned. So I conducted a short test of 13 VPNs on their current Netflix performances. Here are my experience:
(Note that there certainly are limitations on my test. First, I only tested VPNs that offer Chrome Extension because I only watch Netflix on the web. Second, I was in Mainland China when I ran the test, so I had to use a private proxy to bypass China's GFW. It might influence the performance of some VPNs. Third, I only tested their US servers. If you want to find information about how secure these VPNs are or if they support Netflix in other countries, you probably need further research.
  1. SaferVPN. Performs best among all I have tested. Its US servers stream Netflix at a very fast speed, very low latency. You don't have to wait too long for the video to load even you constantly playback or play forward (not the case in most other VPNs), and it allows you to stream Netflix in 1080p. The only problem was that Netflix probably recognized its servers during the test; I encountered streaming error for a short period of time. Though I’m very satisfied with its speed, I'm kind of concerned about its availability in the near future, so I decided to subscribe to its monthly plan instead of going for an annual subscription.
  2. Windscribe. I really like Windscribe's design, beautiful and clean. The best part of Windscribe is its ability to bypass China's GFW (reduce its speed though). I did not use a tool to test Windscribe's download speed, but I could tell its streaming speed is slightly slower than that of SaferVPN: I have to wait for a few seconds for the video to load if I playback or play forward. The video definition is lower than SaferVPN too. I’ll go to Winscribe if SaferVPN won’t work.
  3. TorGuard. TorGuard offers probably the lowest price among all VPNs that support Netflix: $9 after the discount. The streaming speed is satisfying, almost the same as Windscribe. According to its customer support person, TorGuard's dedicated IP is the final solution to the Netflix VPN ban. But it's shortage is noticeable: $9/m subscription is only for one Netflix IP. You cannot switch to a UK Netflix server unless you purchase one (additional $4/m each). Though I watch mostly US Netflix, I still want some flexibility to change to other countries'. The other reason for me to leave TorGuard is its payment system. Its system declined my payment because I was connecting to a VPN, which is mandatory to browse TorGuard website from China. I had to ask a friend in the US to help me pay, not convenient at all. I did not encounter this issue from other VPN providers.
  4. SurfShark. I was not expecting its support to Netflix since there is nothing relevant to Netflix on its website. But its US servers do support Netflix. The speed is not stable - very fast at the beginning then dropped dramatically. Not sure if my proxy had a negative influence on its performance. You probably want to test it yourself.
  5. VPN Unlimited. Its free trial comes with US Netflix servers. The speed is good, not as fast as SaferVPN, but you can certainly watch Netflix without any problem. But it takes a long time to load the video so you may not want to jump back and forth frequently. I also don't like the design (after comparing too many VPNs, design start to play a part in the decision-making process, lol)
6. NordVPN. Its connection to US Netflix servers was very fast during the free trial. But after I pay for the subscription, I could barely find a working server. I hope this won't happen to you.
7. ExpressVPN. It was a bad experience for me to test ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN has tens of US servers, and it does not state which ones support Netflix, so I have to test them manually. It took ExpressVPN approximately 2 to 3 minutes to connect to a server, the result was that I spent a lot of time waiting for it to build a connection. Even worse, the connection failed most of the time. I totally lost the patient on the endless waiting time and the constant connection failure. I don't think I will ever want to use ExpressVPN even it does have ONE HIDDEN SERVER can stream Netflix (I've deleted the server name as suggested by Autico ).
The rest VPN Chrome Extension I tested could not support US Netflix. They are:
ž Hotspot Shield
ž uVPN
ž ZenMate
ž Touch VPN
ž DotVPN
ž CyberGhost
---------------
Two I want to test later:
  1. Wachee. It claims to only support streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu and BBC iplayer. Can someone educate how it works? Use whitelist or something? Will test its performance and update the post later.
  2. BonusVPN. It should be a working in progress. I contacted its custom support person and he was confident about BonusVPN’s ability to support Netflix and said they have down some optimizations to Netflix like forced 1080p. But what really makes me interested is its data plan. You can purchase data instead of paying for a monthly subscription - seems like a good plan to save some money on the monthly subscription fee. The product will launch next month. I'll update this post after I test it.
If you have similar or difference experience with me, please comment so other people can get more perspective. I am also thinking about making a list of VPN servers that support Netflix, and update it regularly. Anyone wants the list?
