Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!

  I’m not asking how to do it without a VPN, I’m asking how to do it WITH a VPN.

  Not sure what’s hard to understand.

    And I’m telling you that you don’t have to if you use a Debrid service.

    But if you insist: all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV’s DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.

      “…all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV’s DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.”

      To anyone reading this, this is not how a VPN works. A VPN (generally) requires a piece of software that gets installed on a client device and securely connects your device to a VPN server. Just pointing DNS entries to the IP address you use to connect to a VPN won’t actually connect you to the VPN.

      If that worked, why would the major VPN providers have software based clients?

        I know but what you specifically want is not possible. But yet again it doesn’t matter because you don’t need a VPN when you use a Debrid service.

        At this point you’re just harassing me to be a pendantic asshole. So I’m going to do what’s best for my mental health and dip out of this conversation. You are exhausting. ✌️
