        Which provider in which country do you want to use?

        Not all vpn server/provider works for all streaming provider in all countries

        only one example: Streamfab not working with NordVPN on amazon


        btw: I personally prefer SurfShark and Windscribe (also known as Eset VPN)​

            > split tunnel didnt work but using vpn for whole pc worked

            Then don't use split tunnel - sorry, but I can't test (no NordVPN)

            Split Tunneling is not working on NordVPN


            Have you a account at amazon.in ?
            Other as Netflix the Amazon PrimeVideo catalog is not changed
            if you use vpn with an account from other country

            btw: I've an amazon.in account (and Prime Trial used) created/used with SurfShark​

              its hard to use vpn for full pc as other things will get messed up like emails etc

              account is indian but im abroad so i get the traveling limitation

              nordvpn support told me to test with/out split and send them the results of dns leak..with tunnel i was getting my real ip and wiith extended test their servers ips.without tunnel i was getting my real ip and on extented test streamfab was showing swiss ips for google

              does streamfab uses any dns within the browser?

                > does streamfab uses any dns within the browser?

                Nope, if I open ipleak.net in SF it shows my Default DNS


                Perhaps the problem is Tunnel only for StreamFab64.exe
                but what about QCef.exe (and possibly other processes) ?

                I can't currently test, because a Pipe blockage in my kitchen ..​

                      Deeper Network DPN: Game Changer for me

                      Deeper Network Mini SE

                      I have been eyeing this technology for quite a while now and i finally took the plunge on Black Friday. I didn't buy the fastest one because i was still being cautious and if it was a bust, i lost less money but now i wish i had gotten the 1gbps instead of the 500mbps one.

                      For those that don't know, this little magic box lets you use what is called a DPN. Decentralized VPN. It's like a regular VPN except it's all residential IPs and there are no monthly/yearly fees.

                      With it, you can get a legitimate residential IP from pretty much anywhere around the world. Not only do you get the DPN, you also have Ad-blocking, Parental Controls and Enterprise-grade Cybersecurity.

                      I received it yesterday and immediately plugged it into my international download machine. Hardware setup was ridiculously easy and i took it for a spin without changing ANY settings. Literally plug-and-play.

                      Add some stuff from Amazon US, Hulu US, Channel 4 UK and Disney+ Canada to my queue and clicked Start All.

                      Everything downloaded at great speeds seamlessly and i didn't have to disconnect from one country to connect to another. By default, i had plenty of IPs available to me from all over the world. The system is domain-aware and uses smart routing:

                      They also have a feature called App Relocator where you can decide for yourself what region to use for individual services. Kinda like what dns4me does.

                      To me, this is the way to go if you download/stream from multiple regions. It will save me a ton of money and no headaches with trying to find the right server that works with a particular service. Yes it's early in usage but i am confident i can cancel my subscriptions to NordVPN, ProtonVPN, dns4me, GetFlix, Smart DNS Proxy, ControlD, Unlocator, and SurfShark

                        Sounds like an interesting Christmas gift.

                        But where do the residential IPs come from? - From other DPN users or not?

                        That means that some user with your IP could be active on the net to do illegal things, right?​

                          Yes. In theory, they could. But you can decide not to share your IP/bandwidth. I had the same concerns. This network has been up for a few years now and i have yet to hear about something like that happening. Like with everything else, illegal activity can happen but would be an extremely small subset of the usage. Plus, if something were ever to happen, you can use the DPN system's private logs as your defense. Just like people who have successfully defended themselves because their WiFi was open or misconfigured. An IP is not enough to convict someone of wrongdoing.

                          In any case, i just thought I'd share this with people who would like a solid alternative to VPNs. I am happy i got it and i am sure it was the right move for me.
