Re: VPN "Pandora is not available in this country"...

Same here. I guess it's the nature of sharing a VPN server with thousands of other people ... who may or may not be trying to do less-than-virtuous things.  A bad egg can get a server added to blacklists and ruin the experience for everone else.  In this case, it seems PIA's DNS server (or the one they route through) was affected.  Glad to know it wasn't Pandora actively changing their policy on VPNs, and in the future we can work with the VPN provider if this sort of thing happens again. ...

Re: VPN with US servers causing "Pandora is not av...

Thanks for your proposed solution.  I can confirm changing the VPN's DNS setting to use a free DNS (such as cloudflare - 1.1.1.1) does result in Pandora working again.  What doesn't make sense to me is why the service suddenly stopped working (or rather, began blocking) when using PIA's internal DNS servers.  I too have used Pandora for months while connected to PIA VPN, and it only recently stopped working.  Has Pandora begun blocking requests coming through PIA DNS servers? I'm not sure changing the DNS setting is an acceptable solution, since, in reality, we're sacrificing security and privacy that comes with the VPN rather than fixing the issue (root causing what has suddenly changed that has resulted in the service failing). ...

Android: "Not Available in this Country" Error

The subject basically says it all. I like to keep my phone always connected to VPN (I use PIA), but I stay connected to US West region servers (I live in PNW).  I've tried selecting different VPN servers within the US, but I still get the "Pandora is not available in this country" error every time I launch Pandora. However I don't get this error when I disable VPN. My google search leading up to this post makes me believe Pandora doesn't actively block VPNs ... maybe that has changed? Any help or suggestions you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Running Android 9 Using PIA's native app for VPN connection 'What's My IP' identifies my location correctly to the server I'm using   Moderator edit: edited title for clarity ... View more
