If you're running a VPN (especially at the router level, since that affects smart TVs, streaming boxes, and anything else on your LAN), you’ve probably noticed that Amazon Prime Video throws a fit when it sees VPN traffic. Same with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, you name it. They aggressively block known VPN IPs to enforce licensing zones.

One straight-forward fix is to set up split tunneling or domain-based whitelisting—basically let traffic to those services skip the VPN and go out over your regular ISP. That way, you keep the VPN running for everything else (privacy, region hopping, remote access), but still get smooth streaming without constant blocks.

The actual setup depends on your stack. What VPN provider you’re using, where you live, whether the VPN runs on just one device or your whole network, and how deep your control goes over routing.
