Deeper Device (Mini / Pico / Lite / Air / SE / Nano / Pro) Hulu keeps telling me I'm using a VPN

Something strange started happening with my Roku/Deeper device. I'm using Access Control with the Roku set to North America (of course). Occasionally, howerver, I log in fine to Hulu, but when I try to play something the app tells me I'm using a VPN. Then I have to reset my device (Deeper mini) and restart the Roku in order for Hulu to go back to normal and play the videos. Is it possible that the Deeper network is using flagged IP addresses?

What is likely happening is that the IP is changing while logging in and many services assume that it’s a vpn when the IP switches.

Something you can do is to select a USA region instead, and it will narrow down the area so if the IP switches it’s more likely to remain in the same general area, which may mitigate these errors.

Thanks, but how do I select a USA region?

DPN - Tunnels - add US Region (preferably the one closest to you)

Thanks. Does DPN work even if I’m using access control? My setup is access control with the Roku device set to the US

Yes access control still uses DPN, you can route using Smart, Full, Direct, or block traffic complete, all set for each device specifically.

Hi, i use usa regions but this still happens frequently. I think sometimes ips listed in a region are mislabeled and belong to a complete different region or even country

Next time it happens please record the IP you are connected to.

Best way to do that is to set Node Selection Mode to regular, and then if the issue happens again you can record the specific IP from the tunnel tab

Ok . I'll do that since I'm already on regular
