So I’ve been able to use expressVPN media server to bypass ESPN+ blackouts, but recently it’s stopped working. Does anyone have same problem? Anyone have a recommended VPN app that works with ESPN+

    Honestly, blackouts are the one reason I don’t watch sports anymore. Oh I can’t watch my local team on my streaming service because of some BS rights that exist from cable. No thanks I’ll do something else

    Is it for Monday Night Football?

    I’m pissed that even as a subscriber for ESPN+, I cant watch Monday night football on ESPN. Even using a local market with my VPN connection.

      It’s for NHL. It worked perfect last season. This season no dice. Not sure if related to the tvOS17 update or not.

        I haven’t tried it with my appleTV. Just a VPN applied to my whole network. My IP address checks for the local market. It’s probably a matter of not subscribing to a able channel package.

    I’m not a NFL fan but coincidentally just yesterday I was reading that if you set your VPN to Canada and change your iTunes Store account to Canada you can get NFL with no blackouts for $20/month. All games, one app.

    I’ve been a NordVPN subscriber for a while. I’m using it mainly for F1, NHL, NBA - no problems joining. No buffering too.

    I used to do that until I got an email from my ISP telling me to stop using a VPN on their network.
