Why is VPN Necessary for Streaming Netflix?
Netflix is accessible worldwide. But, certain media content on Netflix is geo-restricted in some countries due to various reasons. To access those restricted Netflix videos, you must install and use a VPN on your Chromebook. In addition, VPN also encrypts your online activities and prevents others from tracking. We recommend you use ExpressVPN. If you aren’t satisfied with ExpressVPN, take a look at the other best Netflix VPNs.
