Total VPN not working with DAZN? Try this

Total VPN not working with DAZN is usually the result of the platform blocking your server’s IP address, data leaks, or even your device clock not being in sync with the VPN server location. These issues can trigger region error messages before you even sign in.

DAZN is notoriously tough on VPNs due to strict licensing deals with major sports leagues. It even keeps tabs on where you’re connecting from and blocks streams on devices using different networks, unless you pay extra.

This guide covers why DAZN blocks Total VPN and how to fix common streaming issues. Plus, you’ll learn about getting extra streaming locations through DAZN’s Seamless Concurrency add-on, and whether Total VPN lets you watch from two places at once.

Why won’t DAZN work with Total VPN?

Getting the annoying “DAZN isn’t available in this country” message or some vague error code while using Total VPN? You’re definitely not the only one, since the platform’s geo-blocks are infamously difficult to bypass.

It’s not always clear why Total VPN encounters issues with DAZN. Either way, we’ll walk you through the main reasons and simple fixes to get you back to streaming.

Here’s what could lead to Total VPN not working with DAZN:

• You haven’t cleared your browser cookies: If you’ve previously visited DAZN before enabling Total VPN, the service will remember your real location through a cookie file placed on your device.
• Your GPS system is giving away your location: Pretty self-explanatory. DAZN uses every method at its disposal to ensure you’re not getting around its blocks.
• Your system time is not the same as your VPN’s: DAZN may also use browser fingerprinting to check your local time. If your VPN says you’re in the US but your system is set to a European timezone, DAZN may block you.
• DAZN blocked your server’s IP: Streaming services work with MaxMind and other IP intelligence services to obtain and block entire ranges of VPN IPs. Naturally, this may cause Total VPN to not work with DAZN.
• Total VPN is leaking your IP: Some updates or other interference may break VPNs and cause them to leak your IP or DNS requests, revealing your true region.
• You haven’t updated your VPN: Conversely, not installing the latest fixes could also lead to errors on some websites.

How to fix Total VPN not working with DAZN

Here are some common fixes if DAZN won’t work nicely with Total VPN:

1. Change servers. DAZN is available in multiple regions, so try a server in a different country. Keep in mind you may not have the same content everywhere, though.
2. Access DAZN through an Incognito window, or delete your browser cookies and cache so the platform has no record of your true location.
3. Stream DAZN on another device—preferably on a laptop or desktop PC so there’s no risk of GPS snitching on you.
4. Sync your time zone with the VPN. Say you’re trying to watch DAZN on a German server. Your device clock should be set to German time (GMT+2) as well.
5. Check for IP leaks. Use a tool like IPLeak.net to see if Total VPN isn’t leaking your IP or DNS data. If it does, reach out to their support reps for a potential fix.
6. Reboot your system. Mobile devices in particular benefit from a restart every now and then, especially when your VPN is acting up.
7. Relog on both DAZN and Total VPN. This often fixes session or device conflicts.
8. Keep your VPN up-to-date. Not only will this prevent hackers from exploiting vulnerabilities, but it may fix any DAZN-related hiccups.

We’ve also listed the most common DAZN error codes and how to fix them, so check those out if any of them are persistent. Otherwise, you may have to ask support reps for help, or use a different VPN altogether. We’ll offer a few decent suggestions in a bit.

How to sign in to DAZN using Total VPN

The process to sign in to DAZN outside supported regions is easy to follow, and practically the same for any VPN. Follow these steps:

1. Subscribe to Total VPN if you haven’t done so yet. Alternatively, NordVPN and Surfshark are two other top-notch choices for streaming DAZN anywhere.
2. Download the Total VPN app and install it on your system.
3. Open the app, log in with your credentials, and connect to a server in a DAZN region, like the US, Canada, or Germany. DAZN is pretty strict with blocking VPNs, so finding the right country might take some trial-and-error.
4. Head to the DAZN website and sign in.
5. You should now be able to stream sports anywhere. If not, try clearing your cache and deleting your browser cookies and reloading DAZN.

How do I get an extra location on DAZN?

If you’re in Canada, you can get an extra location on DAZN by purchasing the Seamless Concurrency add-on. The same page mentions equivalent services for Spain, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

This lets you stream on a second IP simultaneously, which means you can watch on two devices from different locations without interruptions. A pop-up will appear to offer the upgrade after 2.5 minutes of streaming on a different device.

Direct subscribers can complete the upgrade with just two clicks, while third-party subscribers will need to navigate through MyAccount > Subscription > Discover More on DAZN > Upgrades and pay as usual.

Can I use Total VPN to stream DAZN from two different locations?

In some regions, DAZN lets you stream on two devices at once, but only if both are connected to the same network access point (e.g., same Wi-Fi network). That means if you try to stream from different locations, DAZN will likely block one of the sessions and show the “You are already watching DAZN somewhere else” error.

You might get around this by using Total VPN on both devices, but only if they connect to the exact same VPN server. In theory, this would make DAZN think both devices are on the same network. In practice, though, this can be tricky. Total VPN has plenty of servers, and most apps don’t guarantee you’ll get the same IP even if you pick the same location.

Basically, you’re better off signing up for DAZN in a region like Canada that supports the Seamless Concurrency add-on. Then again, many users on Reddit outright cancelled their DAZN subscriptions over the practice—especially after the major price hikes.
