VPN Access but no update

Hi

using VPN on my android box and phone. Seems to connect and work fine but when i need an app to update via DNS it fails the update. The rest of the app still works fine though at this point. This is VPN location depenant. Some locations allow full access and updates, some only allow access without the update.

Why would the VPN allow access but not allow an update?

Is there anyway to fix this?

Its a hub 5x on 350 Mbps service.

      Just that where you are servers are down that a VPN in another location allow access to another server.

    The app hosting companies are applying a country of access policy.
    It is not a VPN issue. More one of where you are expected to reside.

  • When i connect to VPN with a label as  'London - streaming' it works, when i connect to 'Southampton' it doesn't.

     

    I've checked my IP locations and the they are correct. The servers really are in those locations.

    Had you said Madrid works but Moscow does not, that would have been understandable.

    But London exit point works but no VPN does not, now I am puzzled.

    As we don't know what you are doing, there is no more to be said.

  • Its clearly very strange to me. I'm not convinced its VM related, more to do with VPN inconsistancy.
