Help with vpn please


I've just got windscribe vpn and enabled spoofing on my android. Im in England, but when I try to access tubi it says that it's not available in Europe.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought vpn and spoofing hides your location so you can access Internet from other countries.

Explain it to me like I'm 5 please. Not tech savvy at all 🥺

A VPN hides your location and makes it look like you are somewhere else. If it is not working then it is possible that the website tubi somehow recognizes that VPN or that the VPN is not working right. Can you adjust that vpn's settings to choose where you want it to look like you are? With some vpns you can choose specific countries.

I don't think I can with this app. It's not very clear tbh 😕 there's a list of countries on the main page but I think this is finding the fastest connection for me as I can't change it.

It sounds like there may be a way to do it:

"By choosing a location, you will appear to be using the Internet as if you were physically located in that country. "

I use Express VPN and I can tap or click on a country name to switch to it.

You may be able to do it through settings of the phone:

Open your phone's Settings app.
Tap Network & internet Advanced. VPN. ...
Next to the VPN you want to edit, tap Settings . If you use a VPN app, the app will open.
Edit the VPN settings. If needed, tap Save.
