Hi I have now managed to setup my dd-wrt router with a vpn. I have a Virg Superhub 3 feeding everyones devices. I have secondary dd-wrt providing wifi signal and internet through my superhub3 but with the VPN (pivatevpn.com) (checked all works via whatsmyip etc. So all is great except when using kodi. i can get to the point where I select a link for a movie and it goes through all available links and then finds a working one but then fails to play. Can anyone point me into the right direction before my 6 day trial ends as to how to get it up and running. This could be a problem with my selction of VPN Provider or the fact im on a trial only or the superhub3 or the dd-wrt router. so many things to consider would appreciate any ideas.

Also Netflix does not connect either. or Amazon prime if that makes any difference.

And purely for research purposes just to make sure its not media streaming I tried pornhub which works fine so does youtube. So if anyone has any ideas on what could be the problem here that would be great cheers.

Netflix blocks many VPNs to stop people from watching content that they don't have the streaming rights to in the customers actual location. Though some do still work, there is no guarantee they'll work forever: h77ps://thebestvpn.com/vpn-netflix/

Prime only allows certain Amazon produced content whilst travelling abroad. This might be why Prime isn't working with the VPN.
 
so now that im setup. and i know vpn works on my setup. if i went for nordvpn lets say they may be able to allow my kodi traffic.
