About Netflix problems

Netflix problems can show up as playback errors with Netflix's own error codes, while netflix.com itself still loads. Netflix shows an error when it detects a VPN or proxy, which is not an outage. Netflix's Is Netflix down help page reports known streaming interruptions, and the Netflix Help Center explains each error code.

Official information

Netflix official status page (verified )

Our check and Netflix's own status page can disagree. We test from one location and read only the homepage response. The provider reports what it knows about its own systems, such as sign-in, apps or single regions. A site can answer our check while one feature is broken, and a regional problem can affect one location but not another.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Netflix problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Videos stop or buffer Netflix playback can stop when your device switches networks or the connection drops, and restarting the title once the connection is stable can help. Guide: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
  • Netflix does not load on this network If Netflix times out on one network but works on mobile data, check the router or any network filter before contacting Netflix. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Netflix shows a server error When Netflix cannot reach its service for everyone at home, check the Is Netflix down help page before restarting devices. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Certificate warning on Netflix A certificate warning when opening Netflix in a browser can come from a wrong date or time on the device, so correct the clock first. Guide: NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID
  • Proxy or unblocker error Netflix shows a message saying you seem to be using a VPN or proxy when it detects one, so turn that service off and try again.
  • Payment or account on hold If Netflix says your account is on hold, update the payment method in your account settings.

General fixes: Video and streaming

  1. Lower the video quality Pick a lower quality in the player settings. If playback then runs smoothly, your connection is too slow or unstable for the higher quality right now.
  2. Test without extensions Open the video in a private window, where most extensions are off. Ad blockers and privacy tools can interfere with video players.
  3. Restart the app or device On TVs, consoles and streaming sticks, close the app completely or restart the device. This clears a stuck player without changing any settings.
  4. Compare with another device Try the same video on your phone with mobile data. If it plays there, the problem is your home network or the first device, not the service.
