Netflix with NordVPNnetflix with nordvpn on firestick

Netflix has geo-restricted libraries, meaning that every region has a different library with different content titles. So, if you are not residing in US and using Netflix on FireStick, then you will be having access to your regional library.

To access the US Netflix library, you can use a VPN and connect to a US server. Another catch in this matter is the Netflix VPN ban that blocks the traffic coming through a VPN. However, NordVPN Netflix access has been highly appreciated by users because it bypasses the restriction well without being caught.
