Netflix with VPN not working

[madoka]

Using ExpressVPN to log into the UK, I was not able to download any of the titles there. I'm on the latest PC version. Logs are attached.

Did you try to connect to a different country or location and then browse the same videos there to download again? Can it work?

[madoka]

Yes, I tried the same video in several different countries and they all fail the same way. Can you check the logs?

Your log file has been passed to the QA team, they will check.

I had similar issue, it was Netflix actively blocking all VPN connections.
Are you able to watch the movie ordinarily i.e. connect to netflix and watch movie without opening StreamFab?

[madoka]

Yes, I'm able to watch normally.

Any update on this? I'm able to use ExpressVPN on the US, but there are a certain set of European countries (England, France, Italy, Spain, etc.) that Streamfab cannot download from. This happens to be the countries that have show unavailable elsewhere.

I've tried using NordVPN and I get the exact same result. Any update on a fix?

[madoka]

5.0.1.3 seemed to make the problem worse. Now when I try downloading from Europe, the program hangs and crashes.

[madoka]

Just as an update, 5.0.1.4 has not resolved the problem.

No matter what movie or episode, none can be downloaded while connecting through VPN?

Adding to this because i'm an old NordVPN user, they recommend them selves trying to use one of their obfuscated servers when experiencing problems with various streaming services.
Within the NordVPN software, they can be found on their very own servers list named Obfuscated.

I had similar issue, I can watch in Chrome/Firefox, but always fail when downloading Netflix with VPN.

[Ameh]

Same issue with Nord. Can watch through browser just fine.

So Netflix is cracking down on people watching through VPN. If they figure out that you're using a VPN they block you from streaming/downloading until you disconnect.

I use Nord VPN and when I run into this, I reconnect to a different part of the country I'm trying to stream through and as long as yoiu're not doing it during peak hours you should run into fewer issues with this.
