Title: Can't use streaming services
Post by: mechman9 on November 15, 2023, 04:18:58 PM
I've had this issue for quite a while, but finally decided to see what I can do.
Every time I try to use a streaming service, such as Netflix, Paramount, Prime Video, etc., they will say that I'm using a VPN, and then they won't connect.  I have to go the Avast, disable the VPN, and then I can use the streaming service.  But sometimes, I forget to go back and turn the VPN back on.  Is there a way that the Avast program can allow certain sites to get my true location, so that I can use the streaming services.  Another example is, I use Sling TV, for my TV provider during college football.  But unless I disable the VPN, Sling won't use my mobile devices so that I can watch a game.  Really stinks, when your at someones house and they aren't watch the game you want to watch, but its a pain for you to watch it on your mobile device, pad, phone, whatever.
