Hulu, MAX, Disney unusable from outside USA (Mexico) for the last week

VPN

I live in Mexico and use ExpressVPN (router installed) to access US streaming services on my LG Smart TV. In the last week or so, Hulu, MAX and Disney are unusable. They don’t say “VPN detected” or anything like that, they show generic errors like “we cannot display this content now” or similar (each have their own.)

I’ve tried numerous US servers (Atlanta has been my recent go-to) to no avail. Netflix, YTTV and Paramount continue to work fine.

My mother, who uses my ExpressVPN account on an ExpressVPN branded Aircove, is experiencing the exact same issues. I use the old blue Linksys they used to sell through FlashRouters, which has served me well.

Is anyone encountering this, and has anyone found a better server for these services, or an alternative solution?

Could be a soft/shadow ban. Those IPs that you’re using, scan them using something like IPQS to see if it has a high fraud/spam score or if it’s being detected as a VPN/proxy. If it is, that could be the reason.

They all started working again. I switched to a Deeper Connect DPN hardware device and have stopped using VPN. It’s infinitely better for streaming purposes.
