I have had the same problem with some VPNs, but sometimes it works. Maybe your instance admin can identify if they allow any VPNs, or you could try to move to an instance that is more lenient?

I recommend “Strong”. I have their set top box, but I’m sure they have a stick too. It is just android TV though. Jellyfin works fine. VPN too.

I don’t see why that would help. But if everyone’s empathy increased by 50% of the average amount of empathy, that might help. (Not that it is measurable, but this is obviously fantasy)
