Hello together,

as first i use ExpressVPN on OPNSense, Clients are up and running. Port forwarding run as it should do.
Running DNS Leak over expressVPn and DNSLeak test says i am safe (green and no DNS leak detected.) - German Server selected.

Now when i use my NVIDIA Shiel dTV Pro, i figured out, i can connect to Amazon Prime, but he still detect my VPN use.
When i use the MediaStreamer DNS 85.203.37.1 and 85.203.37.2 its connecting sometimes to a Singapore Server (i dont like), but i can use Amazon Prime.

But i still cannot get into Netflix, i guess its because the hardcoding DNS want to Resolve to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 Google DNS.

If i set up Google DNS as DNS, i get Netflix and Disney Plus, but no Amazon Prime.

I thought about any rule that can port forward from my unbound DNS i set? Because i cannot use a static DNS, Express VPN use different DNS which changing every time. I am wrong with the port forward id?

Is there any option? i dont get it how the expressVPN app/software work perfect but cannot be the same set up on opnsense.

I would be appreciate it, if someone have an answer. I wont figure that out alone for beeing a beginner.

Thank you!

I remember using subscription services via VPN, and it was fine back then. Maybe they introduced some new technologies that make it impossible to use them via VPN.
Well, there is always a choice. You can use free websites like https://www.999flix.com/series and others to find series and movies you like and read more about them before watching. Also, plenty of free online cinemas offer even greater choices than paid ones. I know pirating is not cool, but sometimes you don't have much choice and must go for something you can access. Not everyone can afford a subscription to a service like Netflix, and they also should not be cut off.

Hello @Patuff
unfortunately we could only get to the finish to get Ama*on Prime
to get running.

But the traffic does not go through VPN!

If someone still has a better solution suggestion gladly in the forum...
