How to Watch Netflix US from Canada — Without Getting Blocked
Shared VPNs get detected and blocked. A dedicated IP VPN doesn't. Here's why WestNet VPN works when NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark don't.
Why Your VPN Keeps Getting Blocked by Netflix
If you've tried using NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Surfshark to watch Netflix US from Canada, you've seen the dreaded proxy error: "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy."
The reason is simple. Consumer VPN providers share a single IP address among thousands of users. Netflix sees 5,000 connections from the same IP and blocks it. It's a game of cat-and-mouse that you always lose.
WestNet VPN works differently. You get a dedicated US IP address that only you use. Netflix sees one normal connection from one IP — the same as any American household. It cannot be detected as a VPN because it doesn't look like one.
US Streaming Services You Can Access from Canada
With a WestNet US IP address, every major American streaming platform works without restrictions:
Dedicated IP vs Shared VPN — Why It Matters for Streaming
| Feature | WestNet (Dedicated IP) | NordVPN / ExpressVPN (Shared) |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Yours alone — never shared | Shared among thousands of users |
| Netflix US | Always works — never blocked | Frequently blocked and rotated |
| Detection Risk | Zero — looks like a normal connection | High — patterns easily flagged |
| Speed | 200+ Mbps on 100 Gbps fibre backbone | Variable — shared server loads |
| CAPTCHAs | Never — clean IP reputation | Constant — IP blacklisted |
| Contract | Month-to-month, cancel anytime | 1–2 year lock-in required |
