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.

Looks like they both use the same Chinese OEM without the region locking of the WalMart product.

I live in Canada and just bought an Onn 4k plus from the US. The box does say it will work only in the US and PR. So I was expecting I would be getting the same difficulty in setting it up especially after I read the posts here. Fortunately, I did not. I have a 2020 Sony 4K Bravia. I went to System…

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?

@Hgrasby I don’t have any personal experience with an ONN box while in Canada. But my thinking is that if the power goes out in your house, essentially like powering down and moving the box to another TV.

ONN Setup - out of country Streaming Devices / Hardware

So I’m traveling from my home country where my Google account is set up in the USA. Now in Mexico, I just purchased and received on ONN to replace my Firesticks.
