When adding a VPN, my Channels stop working

[xotor]

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. I have added a VPN using the KODI VPN Manager. I"m using a pi3B with Libreelec Kodi 16.1. Using Stalker Client, I am getting a list of channels and EPG. When I turn on the VPN. The channels and some apps stop working. I have reset my mac, and still nothing.

do a iptv reset first then turn on vpn

I tried, waited 15 minutes, and I still can't connect. Something has to be going on with the VPN connection, as some apps are having issues connecting while the VPN is on. For example, navix will not connect either.

May be there is problem with your VPN provider. Just to make it sure check out these VPN for kodi usavpn.com/best-kodi-vpn/

After the upgrades there has been issues with vpns

Well I've been doing a lot of digging and reading so I'm leaning more towards the issue being with my provider... I went from Frontier to Comcast and it might be the router that blocks the VPN... So I guess I have to either find a way around it or buy my own router... If anyone found a solution please post for us with the same problem.

well its been a month and still looking for an answer...I have PIA installed on my firestick which works with all other addons except with iptv....channels don't show up unless I turn my VPN(pia) off, then all channels come in just fine....I thought it was my provider but now im really confused because everything else works while my vpn is on except for iptv channels....any ideas?

Found this on another forum "
IMPORTANT: If you use VPN and the service doesn't work then please try without the VPN because some datacenters are blacklisted for security reasons."

I am using Purevpn on dreamlink t1 without a problem. I am also using it on a router setup for VPN behind my main router without any problem on comcast.

IPTV is allergic to some VPN's

Which Kodi VPN are you using? Are you using Datho or Ivacy? I was using Datho and I was having the same issue with my VPN connection.

I'm using vyprvpn without issues. 256 bit AES encryption openvpn.

i tried using ipvanish on my firetv, and I couldn't get channels either. Had to turn off. Is there any chance of copy rite infringement by not using a vpn?
