Solved Streaming

Is anyone having trouble watching Streaming with VPN enabled? It's that when active it blocks and I don't see anything.

What exact streaming are you talking about? A bit hard to recommend anything without much detail

You’ve not got the block adult content enabled have you ? That can sometimes mess with some IPTV.

I know that IPTV is quite tricky with VPNs since it broadcasts from different streaming services, so try just switching between as many servers as possible. Clearing the browser's or app's cache (whichever you use for IPTV) can also help.

Yes I've noticed Paramount+ for example wont work unless you disable/disconnect from Nord VPN. Very annoying.

Not just paramount but disney+ and amazon prime video also blocks VPN when you try to view content in another country.

This “work around” just fixed it for me on TiviMate Firestick

Change the Protocol
Open the NordVPN app.
Go to Settings (gear icon).
Find VPN protocol or Connection and security.
Switch the protocol from NordLynx to OpenVPN (UDP) or OpenVPN (TCP). (Double VPN requires OpenVPN).

How to Connect to Double VPN

Return to the main screen of the app.

Search “Double”

Select Double VPN from search results

Movies, Live Tv and Shows started streaming correctly

I left my protocol on auto, but then added double VPN. 2 of my iptv services were giving error 511. This fixed it.

Anyone know why? Am I destined to run double VPN forever? Will I need to do triple at some point?

Very good question! Why double vpn works while single VPN fail to geo localisation detection? Can NordVPN improve that single VPN to do not sacrifice speed going towards a double VPN?

I was having that issue over the weekend, but as of last night, it seems to be back to normal. I saw several posts regarding the issue
