Hi All, Not sure if this has been discussed before? How do i sign up for Netflix US from Australia. I have a vpn and I can access the US netflix website, however when I enter the payment details, it says there is problem butdoesnt say what the problem. I'm assuming it is my aussie CC I tried Paypal and my Amex as well but the same result.

do you have to signup with the vpn or can just sign up without then use the vpn after
Sign up a VPN first. Then you use VPN to sign up with Netflix at a country that has cheap rates. There is a post about it here. Pay with a zero international fee card.
This means the choice of VPN is important. You want a VPN that is known to handle Netflix well, and has servers at a country cheap for Netlifx.
This is going back 18 months so things might have changed, but I just signed up to Netflix Aus and then used a vpn. Be aware though that they allow you to browse US content even with a “flagged” vpn but it’s when you go to watch a show that you’re blocked.
Don't get NordVPN because it recently got blocked from Netflix (again?).
There's never been a more frustrating time to see shows/movies available elsewhere but NOT in Australia!
Just activate your VPN, then sign into Netflix and you should have the US content
I tried but couldn't seen to get it to work on a 2018 Samsung TV.
Try a browser on a computer
I've been using Getflix successfully for years.
PIA doesn't work with Netflix.
Get an expressvpn subscription (relatively more expensive than others but meant to be better) and you can use your existing Aus. Netflix account.
Just note that all Australian servers are blocked for both Netflix / Prime, so you'll have to disconnect to watch local content.
Getflix works for my laptops/pc and my Samsung TV, not sure how as I didn't even configure that one, but nice bonus I suppose
Also, if you plan to take advantage of Netflix gift cards, you can only use them on Aust accounts.
windscribe is working fine for me.
Surfshark works for me
Nord or VPN Unlimited. No problems
Step One: Enable VPN to US
Step Two: Enter Incognito Mode
Step Three: EnjoyAlternatively, you could also clear your cookies and cache.
I believe a dedicated US IP VPN is the most stable solution. Check the cheapest dedicated IP around and go for it.
What about seed4me VPN? And how do i enable that on my Lg smart TV? Or should i just use a PC and cast to TV?
Most people use the VPN after they sign up to watch that particular country's content.
