As I said, since a VPN works, use it till after the weekend if you need to use streamfab. You will not get a reply from SF feedback/support during the weekend

And you never said if you gave the DNS changes a try, but instead of confusing things more, just go with what DOES work (which seems to be using a VPN), for now.

i changed my DNS threw my PC in network but not in router. i have a Verizon router and when i go to my router settings in Verizon i cant find where to change it at.

No 6229 does the same thing now when going back. 6229 was the last version I used, i normally download the offline update I never update in the application. This problem didn't start until I update to this version

Well untill I can get this solved would it hurt for me to just authenticate while using my VPN for the time being and grab what shows I need to get? Or I shouldn't be authenticate while using VPN? I have express.

It's to the point that if using a VPN lets you activate/authenticate, then I guess keep doing it. Once activated/authenticated, if possible, then turn off the VPN. If not, then no choice but to leave it on.
Try to stay on local VPN servers if possible as well.

It's NOT a streamfab server issue unless it's something connected directly with your streamfab account causing this, as if it were a streamfab server issue, the forum would be littered with reports.

I have to conclude and agree with jpp72 that it is possibly a DNS issue; most people use the defaults their ISP gives them, but at any time, such ISP can then block people from sites.

I lean towards OpenDNS and Cloudflare DNS, a list is (here), I would also say stay away from any offering any type of blocking or filters, including ad blocking.

I remember back in the day when my ISP blocked users from a very popular ------ site, and it continued to others all with different ISP's so we had to change DNS servers or use an unblock website to unblock the blocked websites. Or even Proxies and VPN's.

Maybe after a long weekend, try SF feedback/support again, they usually don't answer during weekends.

StreamFab64.exe full inbound and outbound TCP and UDP on all ports and same for QCef.exe

Why not temporarily disable the firewall and see if that works

For your router, I don't think you need to do a factory reset, since you were able to activate with VPN. That means it's either something with your IP or your DNS server.

So for the IP, it could be that your IP is blacklisted because someone who used that IP might have done some malicious things or, very unlikely but still possible, was using a cracked version of StreamFab. Like I said, highly unlikely because if you blacklist a pirate, you do it with the MAC address and not IP address.

When it comes to the DNS, it could be the issue based on where you are located. For example, in the UK, ISPs must block access to certain domains. If you use your ISPs DNS servers, everything DVDFab may be blocked.

At this point, what i would try is manually setting the DNS servers on the router itself could fix your issue. Set it to Google or Cloudflare as suggested and then unplug the router for 10-15 minutes to try and get a new IP. Then try activating again with the new DNS servers. Make sure you run ipconfig to confirm your computer is now using the proper DNS servers.

Finally, because Chameleon and others have experienced issues, it could very well be a server-side issue (very likely).

I doubt they get 100's of activations a day, so it's easy to think it's a user localized issue. I, for one, am not willing to test deactivating and reactivating just in case I suddenly can't authorize.

I agree 100%. Thank you, Jack.

Jack, as I think we discussed this once, and you could easily see (me, not so much anymore), all the IP addresses coming into DVDFab fall into the IP range owned by CloudFlare no matter what your actual IP address is. There is an admin feature as part of VBulletin to check which user owns a particular IP address. It is not unusual to see multiple users listed to those CloudFlare addresses. So, I agree with you, they would never use such a thing for blacklisting purposes.

nothing seems to work I don't know what the problem is but i can only use when I'm on a VPN. Really frustrating even if I was to do a full PC restore i will still be the same I don't know what else to do. I couldn't even get TeamViewer to work so a dev could help.

Just wait for the next version. Maybe the problem will magically be solved...
