What to Look for When Choosing a Netflix VPN

IGN's top pick for the best Netflix VPN is PureVPN. PureVPN's streaming-friendly interface, security and speed puts them above the other VPNs on this list. The other VPNs are also great at tackling the tricky area that is unblocking streaming services, hence why security is one of the most important traits when choosing what VPN to use for Netflix; VPNs with no-log policies are preferred so that there is no way to trace your activity. Speed is also important as video streaming is an intensive activity, especially in 4K, while also taking into account that using a VPN to connect to another country could potentially affect your download speed resulting in longer buffering times. With that in mind, below is IGN's list of the best VPNs for Netflix in 2019.

I personally use PureVPN to stream American Netflix and it has worked with no problems so far; there's even a channels tab where you can scroll down to 'Netflix US' and it will automatically connect you to it if you're already logged in on Netflix or have auto log in enabled.

Original story: Microsoft looks set to remove the Xbox Live Gold barrier for access to video streaming services, such as Netflix, on Xbox One and Xbox 360, according to a new report on Arstechnica.

Xbox Live Gold costs $60 per year, and is required to play multiplayer games and, for now at least, access streaming services. Gold subscribers also often get earlier access to certain game demos, discount offers, and the ability to use Internet Explorer.

The move, then, would allow users to access apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. There would still be the respective charges to access each service, of course.

The move, if true, would allow Microsoft to remain competitive with Sony and Nintendo, who both offer access to such services free of charge on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. Not to mention the increasing competition from various electronic doodads and mobile devices, such as Google's Chromecast, the Amazon Fire TV, and the Apple TV.
