As we all know Netflix is the most popular online streaming service ever. Through it you can watch seasons of your favorite shows, movies, documentaries, etc.
Until a short while ago we were able to access Netflix and stream our favorite shows from anywhere in the world thanks to VPN service providers. However, a new issue started appearing. Netflix started implementing a VPN ban. A very annoying error message would appear that would just get on our nerves.
As soon as we saw this message, we thought that we were back to square one. This was until the VPN heroes came to the rescue.
As we know, technology these days is progressing extremely fast, and with it the war between buzz killers and tech heroes (VPN providers) becomes more and more intense.
Fortunately some of these VPN providers now have the upper hand in the war and were able to bypass this ban allowing us to continue with our Netflix moments smoothly.
Top 5 VPNs for Netflix
Of course there are several VPN providers that were able to that but here are our top 5 best tech war heroes for 2017:
ExpressVPN
There is no doubt that ExpressVPN is the best when it comes to streaming through Netflix and for several reasons some of which are mentioned below:
- It has servers in 85 different locations around the world which means lots of choices and accessible, not only to Netflix US, but to any of these 85 destinations that are Netflix supported.

VyprVPN
At a very close second place comes the beast, VyprVPN. With many mind blowing features especially when it comes to Netflix. Below are some of its Netflix related pros:

Not only that, but it was one of the names that took a huge stand against the online streaming rock star, Netflix, when it came to VPN bans.
