To me VPN is the worst. Very slow and limited device access. I go with DNS services. Much more convenient, way faster, works on all my devices at home and I can switch regions on-the-fly.
But that's me...
Which VPN services have you tried? I've found Tunnel Bear to be good enough for streaming Netflix in HD and they have a very easy to use Chrome Extension + Android App.
I just subscribed to the Indian version of the service (NF) and oh lord the catalog is hot pile of yesteryear's st(r)eaming garbage
