I’ve used ExpressVPN with my fire stick for years with hardly any issue. Now, every fire stick I have will not work with VPN, it still takes me to US content Netflix. Is anybody else experiencing this issue and/or found a work around? My VPN still works with my phone

Having the same issue and even spent 2h with expressvpn customer service trying to get it fixed but nothing worked
XPosting from my own post on r/nordvpn
I found a solution. Go to settings and clear cache on both Netflix and your VPN, and force stop on both. Then, clear data on Netflix (this will sign you out of your account, which isn’t the end of the world). Then go back to Home. Then go to your VPN and select the country to which you’d like to change the Netflix catalog. Then open Netflix and sign in. I use this now, it needs to be repeated every few days, but it works consistently.
I thought I was the only one. I played with the free streaming stick Fios gave me, and that is working now. Not sure what happened with Firestick. Been googling left and right.
I’m wondering if it would work on a Roku?
can you enter the vpn into the router?
Have you tried clearing the Netflix app cache (NOT the app data) and relaunching Netflix? That worked for me.
I know I’m reviving an old thread but maybe this will help someone else having this problem. After hours of troubleshooting, I narrowed my problem down to an issue with the network configuration using DHCP - I’m thinking it might be the ISP’s DNS servers which is what my modem is providing. I configured the Fire TV to use a static IP and used Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and now all the content I should be seeing when connected to the VPN is there.
Me too, can’t figure out what’s going. If it lasts, I may be buying something else
No, not with the kind of router I have. One work around I’ve used is that it still works on my phone. So I have an hdmi to lightning adapter I hook to my tv but it’s just annoying.
Yes, I also even tried resetting the entire fire stick to default settings
Did you ever figure things out here?
