Blackout error in script but not in browser

[MatthewDykeman]

Attempting to stream nyy-phi for today's (8/5) game and I'm hitting a blackout error in streamglob, but not in the browser.
Not sure what could be causing it

verbose response below:

Might be an issue with the unstable branch. Try:

 pip install -U git+https://github.com/tonycpsu/streamglob@stable

This also happens to me when trying to get a game from today using the stable branch! Games from past days work fine.
I can also play it in the browser and I'm definitely not blacked out as I'm in Europe.

I would appreciate any help debugging! Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

Was there ever a solution found with this @mkomko? Streamglob was working fine for me until a few weeks ago, now I'm having this problem. Can watch in browser with no problem, but get a blackout exception error when trying to watch in streamglob.

[mkomko]

@GTRcktSci My problem was related to VPN usage. My linux machine is always connected to a VPN (just for anonymity, not location masking). I only get the blackout exception when connected to the VPN. I used the browser on a different machine, so the problem did not occur there.

[GTRcktSci]

Yeah, I was connected to VPN as well. I think mine may have been related to my DNS leaking my location even though my IP was in another location. I'm going to try with the game tonight to see if that fixed the problem. Thanks for responding.

@GTRcktSci I rather think that MLBAM is actively monitoring for known VPN IP addresses or other VPN hints, since the VPN server I use is located in the country where I live, and that is never blacked out.
