First time issue yesterday, I was trying to watch an NHL game that would be blacked out normally (Live in Buffalo, NY, watch on Firestick, but have been able to switch VPN location to an area not blacked out and would be able to watch it), but could not bypass the blackout. Anyone else just have issues with it too? Any way on settings that would help?
I chatted with a support agent on Sunday when I was having the same problem with an NFL game on local channels with YouTubeTV. They basically told me that they can no longer guarantee access to those channels, which tells me that, unfortunately, ExpressVPN is starting to get figured out by the streaming platforms and maybe even the ISPs.
Why do you have ExpressVPN in the first place? You trust a company that’s now owned by a company whose whole purpose is to create malware. I don’t understand. If you love your privacy you should not be using Expressvpn.
Same issue tonight with the Avalanche Game. Super upset and annoyed
I don’t give a damn about my privacy on my Firestick. I use/chose Express VPN because it was the most reliable in circumventing blackout rules on ESPN+, MLB.tv

It’s important to note that the actions of a parent company do not necessarily reflect the actions of its subsidiary. While ExpressVPN’s parent company may have been involved in creating malware in the past, this does not mean that ExpressVPN itself is engaging in such activities. On the contrary, ExpressVPN has a strong reputation for protecting the privacy and security of its users. The company has undergone independent security audits and has a strict no-logs policy, which means that it does not keep any records of users’ online activities. Before making accusations about ExpressVPN compromising your privacy, it’s important to provide evidence to support your claim. Without any proof, it’s not fair to speak negatively about ExpressVPN without valid justification.
I was really surprised I couldn’t watch last night- been using Express for 3 years. Will they get it sorted or is it time to find a new VPN?
Same tonight for me.
You need to research the project “Raven” before posting comments like that. If I were you I would not trust them. Even Edvard Snowden said the same: “If you’re an ExpressVPN customer, you shouldn’t be.” So much for trust and privacy.
A popular VPN company, ExpressVPN, has been implicated in an Israeli-UAE spy scandal. It was recently revealed that ExpressVPN hired Daniel Gericke while he was being investigated by the FBI for his work with UAE cybersecurity firm “DarkMatter”.
So much for ExpressVPN reputation.
Happening to me now … ever find a solution?
It is important to carefully research any company or product before making decisions about whether to trust them. However, it is also important to remember that allegations or accusations do not necessarily reflect the truth, and ExpressVPN and the project “Raven” may have been unfairly implicated in these scandals. While Edvard Snowden is a well-known figure, it is important to consider whether his statements are based on factual evidence or whether they may be influenced by his own biases or agendas.
Go through the entire list of active US locations and you should be able to find one that works. The sniff them out over time and flag them.
I have been having the same issue with ESPN+ for a while but have found a workaround. It’s not ideal, but if you connect the VPN and then restart your fire stick, it will work. At least it has for me the last week.
Nice , mine started randomly working again … this may have been the reason as I’ve definitely done that
