NordVPN Not Working With Netflix

Workaround available Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, smart TVs, browsers Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Netflix has flagged the server's IP address, so you see the proxy error (M7111-5059) or only local titles. Switch to another server in the same country, update the app, clear cached location data and turn off Threat Protection if needed.

Most likely fix: Switch to a different server.

Symptoms

Netflix shows 'You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy', error M7111-5059, endless loading, or your home library instead of the chosen region.

Why it happens

  • Netflix has detected and blocked that server's IP
  • Cookies or app cache still hold your real location
  • Outdated app without the newest streaming-compatible IPs
  • Device DNS leaking your real location
  • Threat Protection or obfuscated servers interfering

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Switch to a different server

    1. Disconnect
    2. Search for the country in the app and pick a specific server number instead of Quick Connect
    3. Reconnect and reload Netflix; repeat with another server if needed
  2. 2. Update NordVPN

    1. Updates roll out gradually, so download the newest version directly from nordvpn.com
    2. Install and reconnect
  3. 3. Clear cookies and cache

    1. In your browser, clear cookies and cached data for netflix.com under Privacy and Security
    2. On mobile or TV, clear the Netflix app cache or reinstall it
    3. Reconnect to the VPN before reopening Netflix
  4. 4. Use NordVPN DNS

    1. Close Netflix and NordVPN
    2. Set your device DNS to 103.86.96.100 and 103.86.99.100
    3. Restart, connect to a server, then open Netflix
  5. 5. Turn off Threat Protection and avoid obfuscated servers

    1. Disable Threat Protection in the app and reconnect
    2. Use regular servers with the NordLynx protocol, not obfuscated or Double VPN servers
