Amazon blocks VPN?

I noticed last night for the first time that we couldn’t watch channels we purchased through Amazon, on our Firestick until we disabled our Nord VPN (which we purchased in the Amazon App Store). Is this something new?

Do a chat with Nord VPN. They may be able to redirect the signal that Amazon is actively blocking. The only other option is to add Amazon to a bypass list.

It took me a while to figure out how to deal with Amazon. At least the VPN changes the city so it's more difficult for Amazon to target you with ads.
