Surfshark VPN can unlock new Netflix libraries that will provide additional TV shows and movies that you normally wouldn’t get within your current region.
Surfshark and Netflix Services
Surfshark is a popular VPN service that provides an anonymous connection to the Internet. It also offers ad and malware blocking capabilities among other awesome features.
Netflix probably doesn’t need an explanation due to its popularity. Netflix is a streaming service that offers a wide variety of award-winning TV shows, movies, anime, documentaries, and more.
Netflix has also now gotten into the production area and they are creating their own movies and TV shows.
Netflix has risen to one of the most popular streaming services in the world today.
Netflix Geo-Blocking
Unfortunately, like many streaming services, Netflix employs geo-blocking technology which restricts access to content based on your location.
Netflix is available in over 190 different countries yet each country’s library is different. Those who reside in the United Kingdom may want access to the United States Netflix catalog and vice versa.
Many cord cutters have turned to VPNs (virtual private networks) to get around geo-blocking. A VPN will allow a person to connect to a server in a different country, making she/he appear as if they are located there.
Hide Your Digital Fingerprint
Netflix has gotten extremely good at blocking popular VPNs from doing this and when we come across a one that still works, it’s worth celebrating!
Does Surfshark Work with Netflix?
When I wrote my unbiased review of Surfshark VPN I did some testing to see if it was compatible with Netflix.
Usually, when I do this type of testing, I’m disappointed because it either doesn’t work at all or it’s hit and miss.
I’m happy to report as of this article, yes, Surfshark does work with Netflix.
See my video below where I demonstrate this on a Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

Hey there,
Yes you can use it anywhere in the world.
For the past week or so I cannot get any of the TV App streams to work. Daddy Live and Crew work just fine except for buffering. Any reason I can’t get TV App streams? Is there a fix?
My Daddy Live and Crew have not worked for quite some time now. Download the Mega IPTV App. Works fine….

Hey Albert,
Yes you’ll need to register with Netflix to get Netflix.
i though netflix was geo blocked when i signed in they put me on the trial verson then i would have to pay for it that is not geo blocking
I tried setting Surfshark to a foreign setting, but it made no difference with Netflix, still just getting U.S. content.
Any suggestions?
Hi Marty, please watch the video. You need to clear the cache in Netflix app.
I have kodi 20.2. I need to know how to put add-ons on such as add on file add on and I really don’t know how to do it I’ve tried for days could you please help me I appreciate it. By the way I love your app I’m a member.
Watch the Troypoint videos. I would start with a loaded Kodi with all the addons already built in
Is CINEMA working and could I download the latest version
Use search or go to home page and find Cinema link there.
My Cinema is working!
What really? Cool!
Yes it is up and running
Troy, your professionalism and knowledge is the sole reason my wife and I take the time to sit down and without commercial interruptions binge are favorite series, past and present movies. Your tutorials are the best and second to none. Cheers

SurfShark is the very best and inexpensive too… Works with prime, Netflix and just about anything else it’s Awesome and so is their Price… I’ve been with them for going on 3 years Now won’t ever Change… Good Luck
Just wondering why a lot of shows aren’t working on crew? I don’t have debrid. They used to work before. I just updated kodi and that didn’t help. Tyia
I’m no expert by any means but I strongly suggest for the price of real debrid to get it. I personally live in the middle of nowhere pretty much with crappy internet that use to buffer make me angry to try and watch something. Now I just scroll to where I know my internet can handle and never a problem. Never worry about finding links. It’s truly a game changer and relieves tons of stress. Have a great day
Hey Troy, the link you have for video players that reduce buffering one of them says free but as soon as you put your credit card info on their site to get verified, automatically charges your card for 39.99. My bank has recognized it as a scam and blocked my card
Hello Ryan, I just looked at our pages and don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Please provide the exact page and link where you are seeing this. Sometimes these download links change locations so there might be something going on with a very old article that we wrote that hasn’t been updated. Thank you.
Hi Troy I read your article every time it’s posted up.and it’s great news ,great clarity in the comments and information given, love it ,,keep it coming, Martin,
I have been a member for few years now but have been reading your pages for 3 plus yes
Alway informative
can anyone here please tell me how i can bypass the channels you need a pay subscription to like all the sport channels and movie channels. also how do i build addons im using an android tv box thats called TANIX. thank you.
I am logged into Real-Debrid on cinema and when I choose a yellow Real-Debrid stream it says error 503 having issue with premium server. Been like this for 3 weeks now. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Mark. I use RD and I don’t have this problem. If I did I would go back in and reauthorize it and see if that helps. It’s worth a try.
Marsha
Hey Troy!!
Thank you for helping a dinosaur like me watch wonderful movies and tv shows I couldn’t afford to watch. I have followed you for 4 years now and I watch anything and everything
you put out. I use multiple fire sticks and the Walmart Onn box with Surfshark and real-debrid and I have never had a problem worth mentioning. I just wanted to say thank you man I really appreciate all the hard work you put into informing us. People don’t understand the work but I do and I’m hella greatful. Be blessed brother!
Thank you always for the updates and your time, we mostly watch movies and some TV shows. Good content is getting scarce by the day, thanks for the surf shark recommend every penny helps during these interesting times.
Thanks Troy
Hi Troy, I have a question that think many of your followers would like to know, is there any way to watch Formula one other than though that satellite company that seems to have a monopoly on showing Formula one.
Anybody know how much we’ll pay after 2 yyes. For Surf Shark? I have a lifetime deal with Ipvanish for $69.00/2 yrs……
Hi Steve, it’s all spelled out on their checkout page.
SurfShark is Way Cheaper and Much Better than IPVanish… I paid Like around $50 for 2 years plus they gave me a couple of months free as Well… Plus SurfShark works much better wit all the Fire sticks… Good Luck
IP Vanish will match that if you haggle with them.
Absolutely love this informative channel
Troy, I meant Nord VPN not IPTV App.
Troy, the only app I have on my Firestick is the Bee TV app. When I try to watch a movie on this app the movie comes up on about 1/2 of the screen and it’s impossible to watch. What am I doing wrong. I have the IPTV app and it’s always connected when I attemp to watch a movie. Please help.
Troy, I have a Firestick 4K and when I try to play a movie I only get the movie on about 1/2 of the screen so needless to say, I can’t watch the movie. Am I doing something wrong?
Why did the Crew change TV shows category new episodes to include every 24 hour category? I had to switch my TV selection on Green Monster to Homelander to limit new episodes that do not show every show on TV.
They need to go back to their orginal settings.
It worked, now only new episodes appear on Crew. Not every episodes on the telly.
Thank you Crew Team. Wayne
Thank you Troy for this amazing site that has really opened my eyes to a better way to enjoy all the files floating around in our streaming world! I had no idea of everything that is right at your fingertips. You have made a great meeting and learning platform that is second to none! Thank you! BigWaveDave
i want to know how to update addson for kodi maual like Crew
As of today, is Netflix geo blocking? I tried the Philippine server to watch some shows and movies and its giving me the “you have an VPN or proxy error. It had no issues last month. Troy, am I doing something wrong or what gives? Thanks
Blain,
Are you using Surfshark? Did you try a different server option?
does anyone know if shows from italy can be Geo- unblocked in when viewing in australia? ipvanish DOES NOT how about surfshark, will it work or will I just be wasting time and effort? tricky people these Italians:)
does surfshark worth with HBO Max app
I recently took out a subscription to IP vanish on your recommendation and that the excellent price which was offered, unfortunately my needles for a VPN which would allow me to watch British TV players i.e. BBC iPlayer and the ITV one while I was on holiday in Spain, unfortunately it wasn’t working at all and I had to cancel my subscription, any comments?
SurfShark is Better and less expensive and works on just about everything I haven’t had any issues at all
Ipvanish is awesome. Though Cinema sometimes can cause it to turn off they have an option in settings for the notification dot similar to the app that does the same. Anyway, this way lamer guy on YT had a video of the hidden secrets of Firestick Netflix, can’t remember but it was about changing the ipvanish location to say Australia and then watching what they watch. I don’t know how this would work on Netflix with their insane regulations..even if it’s only your mom and you who have shared an account since 1997..dvds anyone. .but we pay over 20 something and they want us to pay another 7.99 because the 2nd TV is 10 minutes away. No thanks. BTW if you are 60 or over or on any Gov program, or low income you can get Prime for 5.99 per month. Plus I thought it was way cheaper just adding a channel on Prime Video than going through the original app. But again I only have Paramount+ and Pluto for free from my Walmart+.. the same payment options if you’re low-income or your child goes to a public school; where they do free lunch. Oh and Disney+ from my Verizon Total account. I forgot which app but under featured lists it has them labeled, Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, and maybe Apple. I love this. Sorry for the novel. Oh, BTW can you put Kodi on a Roku stick or Samsung smart TV? I DL years ago but couldn’t figure it out past the menu so I gave up.
Netflix has a few catalogs for countries. I tried surfshark couldn’t get HD. Being from west coast. When using a vpn example NordVPN just click on country and if that server having problems disconnect and click on country again. That is how you can change servers when using a Nvidia Shield. On comp or cell phone much easier to get to different servers.
Again, thanks for info on Surfshark. Up to a few weeks ago, Netflix and Amazon were still blocking Surfshark but I just checked and as of this writing this is no longer true nfor the time being at least. I wonder how long its discounting will continue to be awesome.
I have renewed my Subscription 3 times with same Great Price plus they give you a couple of extra moths as well
Had Vpvanish for 3 years thier price became to high and hardly ever turned it on except for using cinema loaded surfshark last night and at first though I had made a mistake the buffering was excessive. After a few minutes things cleared up and watch 2 movies without any buffering. With prime I could never use the vpn and now no problem. I can now leave it on using everything.
Thanks troy been using your info for years and its greay stuff. I’ve been telling everybody i know about cord cutting. Thank a Million
Surf shark does not work with Amazon Prime service. I had the same issue with Surf shark. Got the Geo blocking issue, mine going to Switzerland. They said that they were fixing it. Went to another VPN to fix the problem.
I would suggest checking again. Working fine on my end. They have made a lot of improvements in a short amount of time.
Regret just signed up for shark ? and no luck on my firestick to connect to BBC iPlayer or itvhub. Only reason I wanted it.
Hi Nigel, does Surfshark claim their service works with BBC iPlayer or itvhub? I know that’s not mentioned in any of our articles.
I would contact their support team if they are claiming it works with those services.
Hello Troy, I love all the info you provide. I use the firestick 4k. I’ve been using the Onstream apk version1.0.2 which I believe might be the first one. It’s been a good app, but getting flaky. It doesn’t seem to provide a link for an update. I went online to look for an update and found one, when I tried to update it,it supposedly downloaded it into the stick, but its no where to be found. I tried it several times, and each time , there is no sign of it, it didn’t overwrite the old version. Do you provide a link for an update to the app? Or any other advice fir this situation. Between that apk and teatv, they do usually good for me, except for buffering which I can’t seem to get rid of.
Thank you so much in advance.
I uninstalled and reinstalled OnStream for update. Seems to be working fine.
works great for me, never any issues from any country using surfshark
Why does fire stick4k have all these useless add ons that you cannot delete, they use up so much space! It really slow down performance !
Thank you for your continuing to keep us apprised of various things pertaining to our firesticks etc!
