What this topic means
A VPN changes the network route. It can help explain a route-specific failure, but it can also reduce speed or introduce a new login location.
Use services according to their terms and applicable rules; a VPN is not a permission to access restricted content.

A useful first check
Record results with and without the existing VPN using the same device, source and approximate time; do not change the player simultaneously.

Compare the result without losing the baseline
For home networking, begin with the comparison described above. Preserve the current account and record whether the action changes the symptom, leaves it unchanged or causes a new problem. Revert a setting that does not help before trying another.
Use services according to their terms and applicable rules; a VPN is not a permission to access restricted content. If the issued account format or current availability is unclear, ask support for that information before changing an installation. A correct diagnosis depends on the source and player, not just the title of a website guide.
Separate the service, player and device
The service account sets the term and connection allowance. The player organises and decodes the available media. The device and network determine which supported playback route you can use. Record results with and without the existing VPN using the same device, source and approximate time; do not change the player simultaneously.
What to confirm before a longer commitment
Record results with and without the existing VPN using the same device, source and approximate time; do not change the player simultaneously.
