Which Windows VPNs actually unblock Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, and Hulu? We tested them all.
Streaming services use IP detection to enforce regional licensing restrictions. A good VPN rotates IP addresses fast enough to stay ahead of blocklists. We tested each provider against the top platforms from a Windows laptop over three separate weeks to account for blocklist updates.
