OpenVPN for Android not working?

[milkaca 1]

Hi,

 

I just installed OoenVPN for Android and when I try to play video from youtube which is geo restricted. I get message that video is not available. On my other device with the same configuration file it is working fine. Also if I check my location in Chrome everything looks fine. If I try everything on my PC it video is working fine.

 

Regards,

Alan

Maybe it's because you have enabled the geo-location on your android device?

No, it is not enabled.

Try it yourself with this video for example: https://youtu.be/ESXgJ9-H-2U

And in which country you are located? I am in Germany and connected on Netherlands server (Alblasserdam).

I also tried with Chrome (Incognito mode) and same like youtube app.

You won't have much luck in NL, all servers are in the same datacenter, and for me they always got directed to YouTube DE. I've had some luck with CH servers in the past, though their performance is questionable (except for Kitalpha which is really platinum in that regard, but it gets directed to YouTube DE as well..)

But wait on Windows and Raspberry it's working! With CH server I had no luck, because some other links which I used were blocked, and I use them every day. What else is recommendation for people living in Germany?

Tried with UK, same thing.

Then you are the problem yourself. You probably have geolocation or other location techniques enabled. A few quick searches here and on the net should reveal possible steps to do.
