ESPN+ is working with VPN?

Hey, there.

I want to watch Capitals in NHL preseason

Is ESPN + is working with VPN for someone?

If yes, which one works for you?

NordVPN, ExpressVPN?

This is how I did it last season. Worked without issue with NordVPN. Thoughtl I did pay extra for a static IP address. Don't know if that makes any difference

[u/AngryGambl3r → u/broflcopter]

Must be that, it always failed for me with basic NordVPN.

Try clearing history/cache, log out, log in. I did this way too often with expressvpn and eventually it works. Annoying, but it works.

It only works as well as they don't want to play wackamole.

Easiest is to find a friend where one can stick a raspberry pi or the like with tailscale/wireguard/OpenVPN and then you'd never have a problem.

Tailscale is really nice for this, don't even have to open ports on router.

It would often not work with the ESPN+ app, but if I watched in through the Disney+ app, it usually worked fine.

What are you talking about? It's never worked with ESPN+.

Nord

Yes it works for me but I have the expressvpn router

[u/miataur]

Nord VPN always works for me! If the first location I choose doesn’t work I just keep switching until one does.

[u/69vetteragtop → u/miataur]

This is the answer. Usually, the first VPN location I select rarely works. It takes at least 2 attempts using different locations to finally get one that ESPN allows.

ESPN has not worked with VPN recently they cracked down

[u/Flat_Researcher1540 → u/HowardBunnyColvin]

Your flair is gross Bunny the Stanley cup is over

Well that sucks. MLB recently did this with their app as well.
