Hi all we bought a onn 4k plus in U.S, but the ai in it won’t allow me to change regin or use VPN. I tried a you tube video for a work around for the onn 4k pro but it was just a scam to get you to sign up for tunnel bear VPN no free trial. We use nord VPN but the ai prevented set up. Any ideas oth…

Seems the ONN 4K Pro ihas exactly the same specs as the Thomson Streaming Box Plus 270 without the region restrictions. This Thomson is available in Mexico.

Right my neighbor had Nord ,we tried first, then tunnel bear, but it wasn’t until we tried in the basement did it work using proton . It would be smart to get the onn pro with ethernet cable. Cheers

Can someone tell me, (I’m in Canada) once I set up the onn4k plus with the von hotspot from a windows computer, I would then install my vpn (Surfshark) onto the box… can I then unplug the box and move it to another tv without having to go the whole factory reset and set up?
