I recently upgraded to Linux Mint 21

I am not sure but it seems to me videos linked to on a website I visit while on a vpn will no longer play.

If I open in a new window I get the message, "that page does not exist"

But other posters keep posting these videos, so I do not think that could be correct

Something is going wrong with the video connection,

 

I have checked the drivers and no problem is reported.

 

not all videoS are failing to run. Youtube works and perhaps odysey.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

thanks for responding but I use the vpn for relative privacy for some sites

so I cannot disable it


Try connecting to a server in a different country with your VPN until you find one that works.

Ok,  I have one other country I can try.

Thanks for responding.

Some sites block content if it sees a VPN address
