PSA: NordVPN is blocking connections

Title says it all. NordVPN is blocking connections Popcorn Time uses to stream. Unsure if this is intentional or unintentional, but their P2P servers don’t seem to be doing any better than their normal ones.

This is on Windows with the .ru API, running on 0.4.4.

With NordVPN off, Tenet 1080p has 2000+ peers. With NordVPN on, it has 0.

I use VyprVpn, works good most of the time.

With NordVPN off, Tenet 1080p has 2000+ peers. With NordVPN on, it has 0.

you’re talking of just the health indicator ?.. If yes, if the health request is timing out due to slower latency (like when you use a VPN) it will display 0, but doesn’t necessary mean NordVPN is blocking something.
The health indicator is just an indicator and cannot be 100% reliable.

What you should do, is trying to watch the movie… but start with the vpn on first, because if you stop the dl and restart it, sometimes peers will not reconnect directly

I running popcorn on android Kodi mediaplayer, , with NORD VPN,
It seems I have the same problem, try to watch movie, ( beginning download ) … it stays there
Nothing happens

Its Maybe good to know, witch country’s i must avoid with VPN NORD ,

Thanks for help, Jean

Not just the health indicator. I’ve tried to watch the movies as well, of course. I remain stuck on the “connecting” screen for as long as I could be bothered to wait.

Ok my bad then :confused:

Else, what if you try with default api instead of popcorn-ru one ?

The default api hasn’t updated in a long time… the movies I want to watch aren’t on there. And I think the same problem is present, anyways :frowning:

man, I just asked you to try, not to definitively change.

And I think the same problem is present, anyways :frowning:

Thinking is not like being able to see the facts. But sorry I don’t wanted to annoy you. :expressionless:

Lol … what’s the point in being a Mod if you can’t annoy! Especially when they already know the answers?

Release the Yiannis … feel the choke!!

Just tried to tell things and avoid to sound passive aggressive :expressionless:

and avoid to sound passive aggressive :expressionless:

I don’t do “passive aggressive” myself, either: I’d recommend …
