Which VPN do you recommend for watching Netflix from abroad?

Netflix basically blocks all VPNs, so it's a lost cause if you want to use it from outside. Maybe some work for a bit, like ExpressVPN or NordVPN, but Netflix keeps updating to catch and block them. Honestly it's more practical to have a friend in Italy who shares the account with you, if you really gotta watch stuff that's not in your local catalog.

The smartest thing is to use a VPN that has servers in the country where you actually have an active Netflix subscription, so you're not fighting against their filters. It's true Netflix has gotten more aggressive over the years, but saying it's a lost cause is an exaggeration - plenty of VPNs work fine if you use them sensibly, without switching them every 5 minutes. NordVPN and ExpressVPN aren't the only ones, there are options like CyberGhost or PureVPN that do their job pretty well, especially if your Netflix plan is compatible with the country you're connecting from.
