1. Sign up with a VPN that supports unblocking American Netflix abroad.
2. Download and install the VPN app on the same device you use Kodi addon. PC, Mac, iOS, and Android are all supported.
3. Launch the VPN and connect to a VPN server.
4. Now, open Kodi and launch the NetfliXBMC addon.

From personal experience, ExpressVPN is the best VPN service you can use with Kodi. They are one of the few VPNs that actually still allow you to get American Netflix outside USA. Check out our reviewed list of the best VPNs for NetfliXBMC in 2017.
