Hi @runemama!,
Thank you for your post in the Roku Community!
We understand that you want to stream using a VPN. Please note that VPNs are currently not supported for this purpose. While they may have worked in the past, recent security updates by content providers may have affected the functionality of your VPN. This change is intentional. Using your regular internet service provider (ISP) without the VPN should resolve the issue.
Thank you for your understanding and participation in our community.
Best regards,

Hi John.
I tried your solution, no go.
Here's what I found out after going to Sling's troubleshooting agents. Here's a quote from the agent:
"I was looking for more information in the system and Sling does not work with VPN anymore. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but due to a change in business policy Sling is no longer able to support VPN connections. You can still view Sling without the use of a VPN."
I need my VPN! Anything you know about a workaround? Please advise soon as you can. I need to get into Sling to erase a bunch of auto-recorded material.
Many thanks,
diana
