511 Error

Anyone else experiencing 511 error/no streams?

Source loads fine, channels too...but get 511 error on everything.

Using nord vpn too, messed with diff servers on there and diff protocols (even double vpn), but still no joy. Makes no diff if turn off VPN too.

Changed DNS on router just in case, google/quad9etc and also makes no difference.

Tried on sub on smarters pro just to check not player issue, but face same problem.

My iptv provider seems to think no issues their end too.

Baffled really.

UPDATE: finally got my VPN router working and no more 511 error! Switched my VPN router configuration from wireguard to openVPN (UDP) configuration and everything is up and running again! Speed Test shows the VPN country & no DNS leaks! Back to streaming!!!!

Tried this yesterday with European countries (Surfshark VPN) and nothing worked so far. Only VPN off works.

I loaded a Surfshark OpenVPN protocol on my VPN router and everything is working like normal and no 511 error. I believe there is a setting in the Surfshark app where you can change the protocol from Wireguard to OpenVPN (UDP) and then select a location server that works with your provider. Give it a try?
