Been testing VPNs for streaming lately and man, some are just trash for Netflix. ExpressVPN is still king for smooth streams, no buffer, no errors. NordVPN used to be decent but lately their US servers give you the gray screen of death more often. CyberGhost? Meh, unreliable. Surfshark? Good price but inconsistent. Honestly, you gotta pick a premium one that keeps up with Netflix's VPN block game. If you're just jumping into this, don't waste time with free or cheap VPNs, they'll break your flow and waste your time. Pick one that's proven, pay if you gotta, but don't settle for half-assed. ymmv but in my experience, stick with the knowns and test their US/UK servers first. Hope that quick overview helps some of you get unblocked faster.
