Watching Netflix on Kodi can be a challenge – especially since the link to the alelec repository, where the add-on could be found in the past, no longer works. Luckily, you don’t need that link to access Netflix on the latest version of Kodi.
In this article we walk you through how to add Netflix to Kodi 20 Nexus and explain why you should use a VPN to achieve this.
Why you Need a VPN and What to Look for?
It is possible to integrate Netflix into Kodi 20 Nexus without a VPN. However, doing so means that you are only able to access Netflix from your region; meaning that you are potentially missing out on the latest releases and other content that may not be available in your region due to licensing restrictions. Accessing Kodi and Netflix without a VPN also puts your connection at risk of hackers, viruses, malware, and surveillance.
However, not all VPNs can bypass the stubborn VPN blocks that Netflix has in place. Of those that can, few can create the fast, secure connection that you need to successfully access Netflix in any region. To achieve this, you need a VPN that has the following features:
- The ability to bypass VPN blocks
- Servers in the Netflix region you wish to access – servers in the US are a must if you want the latest shows and releases
- Fast speeds to reduce the risk of buffering and long waits for connections
- Excellent security including AES encryption and a no-logging policy
- Accessible customer services – just in case you need support with any aspect of your VPN
