[Windows Central Question]

I have been using netflix for all my streaming needs, but lately I have been travelling a lot so I need a VPN that is fast enough for streaming and bypassing geo-restrictions. Need suggestions, ready to invest in to a paid service, but it should worth the price.

Hmm, be wary as Netflix works to block VPNs and stuff.

ExpressVPN. I was just watching Netflix in China.

I just discovered this for Netflix in the UK. NordVPN doesn't offer true UK Netflix.

I've used ExpressVPN for years and have no issues with Netflix (also use in China:), and it has worked really well with all my Windows devices over the years, for the most part...which is a big plus. Keep in mind that it will probably slow your internet speed by about 20-40%

You sure that it works well in China ? Does it gives true UK or USA netflix in China with expressvPN?

@Wilsondrake, over the years I've actually had mixed results; no problem in Hong Kong (not the same limitations as on Mainland China); in China had luck in some locations, no luck in others areas.

Yes exactly that is what the problem is it is not 100% china wall proof and there are mixed results.

Like @mtf1380 has already said, I too would recommend ExpressVPN.

@Wilsondrake, I believe it is the radar/radar dector syndrome:

police use radar gun,
driver gets radar detector,
police get new band radar gun,
driver gets new radar band detector,
and so on.......

ExpressVPN is HQ'd in HK (if I remember correctly), and was able to circumvent the Chinese ban in the past, but Chinese realize the breach and block the process. I have been able to navigate around the block on one trip, and be block the very next trip - in the same city, staying in the same hotel. It's always been a hit and miss.

It may be then, unfortunately, that no matter what VPN service you use, because of the location, it may always be hit and miss.
