GG.
Vpn.ac not working for netflix US. Sigh.
Hi All,
I have sign up for Ivacy VPN. I'm using it to watch Netflix with US content.
I managed to get it working on my iphone and my ipad.
However, I have a sony android TV, i installed the app on the TV, when I turn on the VPN and go into netflix, it shows me proxy error.
Anyway to go around this? Do i have to set up the VPN on the router instead?
My TV is connected via ethernet cable, not on Wifi.
TIA
i've been working there for years.
PRC there do not use the old VPN for youtube or gaming.
they use SSR/V2Ray/shadowguard. speed was much much better than VPN
watch 4k video super smooth. due to using premium CN2 network
Dun worry too much abt ip ban.
you can also 回墙watch geo-blocked chinese streams
basically they buy VPS from google/alicloud/amazon..e.g
some become provider. most well known and expensive was rixcloud
check this review https://www.evernote.com/shard/s609/sh/087d120a-d07f-4b13-95d4-95af5d573db5/43c350e6c55ac4c3
there's many free ssr server too on telegram group and google+
but telegram was blocked in china. u need to add sock5 by clicking this address on ur phone to auto add or use those here
i'm using cordcloud provider. simi 19大 or garment meeting also stay open
this angmo in china written a simple guide
It is in the list of not working VPN for Netflix as of Dec2018. VPN.ac, Ivacy, PureVPN are among the list. Private Internet Access is also known not working as per the report in this thread.
ExpressVPN, Nord, Windscribe, Surfshark, Cyberghost, IPVanish and vyprVPN are known to work with Netflix.
Ivacy user may check, some site say it works. Some says not. I believe it works.
Probably for PureVPN users as well.
Nord is known to be reliable but may be a bit slow.
ExpressVPN seems to be the best all-rounder to justify its higher price.
Chinese users are also reporting good speed (Netflix 4K support) with ShadowSocks (SS/SSR) servers.

Edit on 2 Jan 2019, the following link may not be accurate. VPN.ac, Ivacy and Pure VPN should work with Netflix.

Sorry to dig this from the graveyard but I find it very helpful.
Telegram got tons of free SSR servers.. I just connected a few from japan servers and works great from SG. Anyone from China can try this to test?
For those who want to use these Free *SSRs,
1. Download Potatso lite for IOS/android or SSR for windows (https://github.com/shadowsocksrr/shadowsocksr-csharp/releases)
2. Copy any one of the SSR URLs in Telegram group (https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@gyjclub). Choose the latest one as the old ones might had been banned by China GFW.
3. Paste it in the SSR program and run it.
For those who are new in this term SSR, I suggest you google it. It's almost similar to VPN, which will also bypass China GFW.

So much valuable information in this thread, thanks for the VPN functioning in China analysis. I'm using Surfshark, it's mentioned here that it works in China, I can only add that it unlocks US Netflix content too. I have used CyberGhost free version previously, but they canceled it and before that used Express VPN which I enjoyed, but yeah, they're a bit pricey. So switch to Surfshark mainly because of the price-speed-quality combo.
Does it work well for 4k streaming? Plan to use it on my Sony android TV.
eh my PIA has been working since day 1 until now! at least whenever im using USA netflix. damn imma jinxing it soon!
So there is no solution for TV apps?Are you connnected to the same US server for your tv as you did for your iPhone and iPad?
If you are, then sometimes Netflix could have blocked it if you are streaming from a tv.
I used to use smart dns and it worked on my computer but not via my tv.
Checked with the provider and they confirmed that streaming via tv was blocked.
eh my PIA has been working since day 1 until now! at least whenever im using USA netflix. damn imma jinxing it soon!
getting PIA to work on Netflix is so unreliable that I've given up on it and used Windscribe instead.. I still use PIA as my main VPN client for all other purposes and decives for its consistently fast speedI see. Several reports say it does not work here. Good to know it works.
Some websites including a 2016 PIA forum post also say it does not support Netflix.
But then I read they start to work on it 7 months ago and now it seems to work again with US Netflix. Nice their SVP keeps updating on the situation in Reddit.
