The Best VPNs for Argentina

NordVPN currently provides the most reliable Argentinian IP addresses I’ve seen in action.

Telefe is one of the hardest Argentinian geo-blocked platforms to access from abroad. It blocked many VPNs, like PIA and CyberGhost, completely.

Yet, NordVPN worked straight away, and Netflix Argentina’s catalog loaded just as quickly. I also accessed the local HBO Max and Disney+ libraries in a breeze.

My speed tests were equally superb: I only lost 17% connecting in from abroad. That’s inside my 20% bar for long-haul connections, and comfortably enough for streaming in HD and 4K.

This great performance wasn’t limited to my laptop, either. On smartphone, Fire TV, Apple TV, and even Android TV, NordVPN delivered the goods each and every time.

For travelers, Meshnet is NordVPN’s standout feature, and none of my other picks offer anything like it.

It’s a free tool that links your own devices in an encrypted network. Leave a computer running at home, route your traffic through it from Argentina, and you browse with your actual home IP address.

Plus, streaming services and banks see a household connection, not a VPN server, so you’re far less likely to be blocked or flagged.

NordVPN also sells dedicated IP addresses in 30 countries, including 11 US cities, for $4.19/mo extra: more locations than any other VPN I’ve tested.

These IPs are unique to you and are a great way to avoid annoying CAPTCHA and security checks caused by shared VPN IP addresses.

On hotel networks and Buenos Aires’ free WiFi, remember that your NordVPN Basic plan comes with an ads and malicious sites blocker for safer browsing. The Complete plan adds a full antivirus.

ExpressVPN’s streaming access is seriously hard to beat, and it’s been like this for many years.

Throughout the year I test access to 120 platforms globally, and ExpressVPN can unblock 115 of them. By contrast, NordVPN can access 102 and Surfshark 96.

ExpressVPN works with 18 Netflix catalogs, Sky Go, NFL Game Pass, and many more popular services.

I accessed HBO Max USA instantly from abroad.

ExpressVPN’s 40Gbps servers, which are available in many major countries, will allow you to stream your favorite content in high resolution, just like you would back home.

From outside Argentina, you can use the VPN to skip past Argentina’s Disney+ geo-blocks and, through your Premium plan, access every basic ESPN channel and stream live CONMEBOL Libertadores, F1, NBA, and ATP tennis.

ExpressVPN is the closest thing to a plug-and-play VPN I’ve used. Its apps come with the important settings already on, including the kill switch, so most of the time you just pick a location and hit connect.

It’s quick, too. In our tests it switched IP addresses in just under three seconds, which helps on public WiFi in Buenos Aires, where sessions typically expire every 30 minutes and you have to reconnect.

My speed tests also showed a strong 15% slowdown on long-distance connections and even better 2% connecting to a nearby country like Uruguay.

What you give up is the extras its rivals offer: no Meshnet, no multi-hop servers, and no GPS spoofing on Android.

Free VPNs with Argentina servers are very rare, and PrivadoVPN is by far the best option among the limited choices available.

TunnelBear is another safe VPN with a free Argentina server, but its 2GB monthly data cap and lack of manual server location are major restrictions.

PrivadoVPN’s 10GB monthly data allowance is far more generous, but it’s probably still not enough to satisfy frequent VPN users.

Unlike other free VPNs I’ve reviewed, you also have to manually renew your free data via your online account each month. It’s a bit annoying, and unnecessary in my opinion.

Sadly, PrivadoVPN’s free Argentina server location failed to unblock Netflix Argentina and Telefe in my streaming tests.

I’d go as far as saying that for streaming Argentinian content, PrivadoVPN is simply no good.

On the other hand, it’s really good at unblocking US and UK content platforms from abroad, like US Netflix and BBC iPlayer.

I’ve never had issues streaming US Netflix with PrivadoVPN.

PrivadoVPN’s speeds were equally impressive, too, with only 8% slowdown connecting to its 11 countries on offer.
