How do you update VPN location so that I can watch local channels via Hulu live?
How do you update VPN location so that I can watch local channels via Hulu live? As of right now, the location for hulu is showing Cincinnati when it should be northwest Ohio. Thanks, N
VPN being used is via Nighthawk. I reached out to this community given the fact I've been on hold for an hour and the AI Chat is pointless. I cannot find an advanced setting within the Nighthawk app to do so.
thanks,

What are you trying to do?
OpenVPN, the VPN that comes with your router, is there for you to access the device when you are away from home. It is not a VPN that lets you access remote sites when you are at home.

If you are "on the road" and want to access something you subscribe to, then your own network isn't apart if the connection. You just use that service's access process to "dial in" from wherever you are.

At the end of the day, the issue is this. We recently upgraded or router to RAXE500 for a number of reasons from the cable/internet provided equipment. When connecting the firestick, roku, etc. it no longer has the local channels. The location that is being used is Cincinnati when it should be Toledo Ohio. So the local channels are Cincinnati.
Thanks for the help.

Beyond the country you live in, there isn't much on a router that is locally specific.
So, maybe nothing to do with VPNs. Could be more to do with the Firestick and other devices.
What was that cable/internet provided equipment? Maybe that is also involved.

I was thinking the same as well but when I connect the old equipment and connect sticks, the correct location is used - Northwest Ohio. Which leads me to believe there is something with Nighthawk and Netgear Armor that is dedicating location.
