Netflix allows watching TV shows and movies through a VPN, but VPN, proxy, or unblocker apps and services might cause problems or change which TV shows and movies are available to watch.
If you use these apps or services, try these steps:
Turn the app or service off and try Netflix again.
Reset the network settings on the device with the issue.
