Can't get VPN to work with Netflix on SHIELD TV

by zaneyk

I just can't get a VPN to work with Netflix on my Nvidia shield tv, at first I thought it was something wrong with the PIA VPN app, but I tried VPN Unlimited and VyprVPN and got the same result.
This is what I'm seeing, when I try to open Netflix while running a VPN: https://imgur.com/a/jHoXe
I can use twitch and youtube just fine

PIA works fine on my PC, phone and tablet with Netflix.

Anyone have similar issues or know how to fix it? Any suggestions is much appreciated.

Hola VPN works for some damn reason. But I read that Netflix has hard coded Google DNS into the app, therefore VPNs don't work anymore. What Hola does, I have no idea, I just know I can't connect with PIA or openVPN

I am using PIA (open VPN) and have no problems. The only thing I find is that if you are going to switch regions, you have to exit the Netflix app under the settings page. The regular exit function doesn't seem to properly close the app out.
