iView blocking streams even though I am in australia

Kodi Add-ons
1

As per the title. I have 2 x Odroid N2+ boxes that give the same results, a message from ABC iView stating that the content cannot be viewed from outside of Australia
I have only found one reference to an issue with iView (in 2020) here but that was because of a smart dns being used or something
I know that the repo is now defunct but why does it still work fine in windows / Kodi but apparently not in any current (v19 - 21) coreelec builds?
Apologies if this is a naughty add-on (seemed innocent enough) :wink:

Not too much of a heartbreaker just a bit annoying that it IS still working fine with the latest builds of Kodi on windows

Any light that can be shed much appreciated

EDIT//
NVM rookie mistake, I’ve got it working fine as the ONLY add-on so I can take it from there :blush: :+1:

So it seems that Zomboided VPN Manager is the culprit.
If installed, the iView add-on seems to detect it and block all streams. Disabling doesn’t help. After uninstalling the VPN Manager iView allows the streams to display. Is there an alternative method of using a VPN to OpenVPN Manager?
