If you want to watch Netflix while traveling, you need to get a VPN. A reliable provider, like NordVPN, will unblock your home country's Netflix library no matter where you are. On top of that, it will give you access to any other geo-restricted Netflix library, including other popular streaming services.
If your VPN is not working on Netflix, it is likely because Netflix has blocked the IP address of your VPN server. You can try connecting to another server, clearing cookies and cache, or changing your VPN provider to a better one, such as NordVPN.
