I don’t have any problems getting US Netflix from Canada on my iPad (using VyprVPN) but is there any solution still working for PS4? I was using these free DNS codes last year but those don’t seem to work anymore. I notice there is a setting for proxy in PS4, is proxy different from VPN? Any other solutions for PS4?
Thanks for joining this subreddit, you are officially the first one to post a question here! Regarding Netflix on PS4 there are several solutions.
-
Use a DNS service that still works for USA Netflix. I recently tested Express DNS on a PS4 and made this video showing you how to do it. It’s simple to set up, the same as the free DNS codes that you mentioned you were using before. The only extra step is to register your IP address with ExpressVPN (because it’s a paid service).

Use your computer as a virtual VPN router to share the VPN with your PS4. I recently made this video showing you how to do it using VyprVPN (in the video I was using Roku instead of PS4 but the method is the same).

Set up your VPN on an actual router. This requires a router with a fast CPU and custom firmware such as Tomato, DD-WRT, OpenWRT, etc. If you are using VyprVPN then I recommend Tomato firmware because VyprVPN has a very nice router app for Tomato (other firmware requires manual set-up). I have tested it with AdvancedTomato which is available for these routers.
Regarding proxy vs VPN, it is a different type of service. I am not aware of any proxy service that will work for Netflix on a PS4 and I didn’t even know that a PS4 can use a proxy. I will do more research on it and let you know if I find anything. If you try any of the above solutions please let me know how it’s working for you. Good luck!
Thank you for the fast reply. I am going to try suggestion 2, the virtual router thing using my computer.
