Why does Netflix keep blocking ExpressVPN?

Netflix, the world's leading on-demand streaming service, has recently experienced massive crackdowns of its users who had to resort to unblocking options in order to watch their desired content on the platform. The move comes after reports about 'unauthorized' VPN apps running in users' devices. It was later uncovered that the so-called unauthorized VPN apps are developed by local VPN service providers for a fee. The report also states that Netflix is in talks with these local VPN providers to take down the said apps from the App Store. In turn, this would help Netflix to block these apps.

However, the VPN apps can still be accessed and used even after Netflix took action to put in place measures against unblocking by means of VPN. Many VPN services offer apps which allow their users to unlock all available content on a particular service with the help of proxies and VPN. Some of the popular paid VPN apps in the US include ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Ivacy, PureVPN, and Private Internet Access. The unblocking solution in any of these apps will allow the users to surf anonymously, access geo-restricted content and prevent the streaming site from blocking them. However, many Netflix users have found that the same apps which have been mentioned above have been blocked from their devices since January.

The major aim of VPN is to make sure that you can keep your identity safe, protect your personal information, and connect to different WiFi networks without revealing your identity. And while we understand that these types of apps can really help in getting around geo-blocks, the move by Netflix seems quite unjustified. It's true that apps like ExpressVPN and similar VPN providers which offer paid accounts with lots of features and services, are considered expensive. But the truth is that these apps which are not recommended by Netflix don't provide the essential features that a user needs. Also, many Netflix users believe that the VPN apps mentioned above can be accessed and used even after the app blocking measures by Netflix were put in place. So, is it really right for Netflix to block apps like these? We take a look at this in a bit more detail.

Netflix Blocking VPN Apps: A Concern. The company has been cracking down on VPN apps which allow people to view their content anonymously. The reason behind this act is stated to be the fact that these apps are used to circumvent the geoblocking feature.

This is not related to your question, but ExpressVPN now allows you to connect up to 5 devices at the same time. So if you add a second device, you will get a 30-day trial on that device. If you choose the 3-month plan, you will get the 3 months for both devices.
