NordVPN has the performance you need to stream your favorite content across every popular platform, making it my favorite VPN for use with services like Netflix and Disney+.

Why we like it: During my tests, I found that NordVPN consistently performed better than many competitors in terms of speed and stability. The VPN also has exceptionally fast connection times and works well on mobile.

NordVPN's country availability within its server network currently stands at 111 locations. The number of device connections you can use simultaneously is 10, although we would like this to become unlimited in the future.

NordVPN works well with most major streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, BBC iPlayer, and the DAZN channel for live and on-demand sports streaming. If you have trouble accessing content, try another server -- and experiment with different countries and regions.

If you run into problems or are unsure which server to connect to for unblocking a specific service, live chat and email support are available. You can also opt to install NordVPN directly on your router, or buy one with NordVPN pre-installed, such as the Privacy Hero 2. While trying this model out, I found that NordVPN was able to access streaming services across a laptop and TV, and I was able to tap into many different content libraries without issue. Overall, NordVPN had impressive success rates with streaming services like Netflix.

NordVPN offers FAQ articles detailing how to stream most of these services securely and how to use the VPN provider's native apps. Provided the country you're streaming from has geographical access to the content you want to watch, use the "quick connect" function when streaming. This feature should select the fastest server available.

Who's it for: This VPN will suit most users who want a solid VPN to access streaming libraries. Customers like how easy the VPN app is to use and that it offers good speeds, although some have noticed inconsistent pricing.

On a standard two-year contract, plans start at $3.39 per month, while one-year plans start at $5 per month. Some plans come with free Amazon gift cards.

If you want more advanced security features, consider signing up for a premium plan, which offers browser protection, ad blocking, a data breach monitor, and cyber insurance.
