I do log in with my US account in CH without a problem but then I have access to CH content. Best thing is to search a movie here that is only available in the US Netflix. Then try to see if you can still watch it in CH or not. If yes, then may be a miracle has happened!

I use https://www.smartydns.com/ (note there is a "y" in there)

I set the DNS manually on the Smart telly and we get USA Netflix.
We also get the UK BBC iPlayer, C4, ITV etc

On our tablets etc we use the SmartyDNS app = still works.

I use strongvpn which works for US netflix (which have different titles available than CH) and hulu. Hulu cut me off a few years ago because of my vpn but I sent them an email to ask for an exception which they miraculously gave me. I hope this public post does not jinx that as I am really into the Handmaid's Tale.

The vpn service is not free, but they have good customer service.

Anyone with Proton VPN experience?

Revising this as the VPN services are constantly changing.

Anyone have recent successful experience with a VPN that works for foreign Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer?

Thanks!

We're using https://nordvpn.com - works fine with Netflix & iPlayer. Haven't tried the others...

I use Nord VPN. Just tried it now and it works fine logging on to Netflix USA.

I use ExpressVPN for Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney+ (all in USA). Works fine.

I think in the last year, we had to change VPN location one time because Hulu blocked. But a quick question to the live chat and they provided a location that was fine (took less than 5 minutes). Now the original location is back to working for all stream services mentioned above. Other than that, all's good.

As a bonus, you can switch off the VPN and get a lot of shows/movies on Netflix that are carried in CH but not in the US.

We use Surfshark and can confirm it works on US Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and BBC iPlayer (and DaveUK TV). It was cheaper than the other alternatives and works well! (I think I paid something like $70 for 3 years? They're now doing a special for <$48 for 2 years!) Would recommend.

I use Nordvpn.... it works for a while then kicks me out mid-episode.
So frustrating. I guess they are on top of all VPN providers.

.... anyone know where I can get season 7 & 8 of homeland from a Swiss IP?

You might have to try some specific servers although for example only certain UK server ranges work for BBC I Player but once you connect to them you're fine. Not tried it yet for Netflix.

Do you all watch Netflix in the computer, installed VPN in your router, do you connect to a TV-set via cable, or what?

Am interested in a VPN as well to watch Netflix UK or USA/ Amazon Prime UK / BBC iPlayer.... so Nordvpn or SurfShark?

Would it work to have a raspberry pi at a family member in the country of interest and do a remote login (ssh) from CH ? Start a browser on the raspberry but have the screen cast to the pc in CH ? Im wondering whether I could use this to watch Dutch tv...

This of course as I, being Dutch, am cheap and dont want to pay a vpn service.

You "just" need to install a VPN server on the Pi. No need to cast a webpage.
Cheaper still would be if the family member's router already supported a VPN server.

I've moved from NordVPN to ExpressVPN instead as ExpressVPN works with BT Sport, Sky Go, Amazon Prime and Netflix.

NordVPN doesnt work (or didnt for me) with BT Sport.
