Im using NordVPM on macbook.

Using NordVPN app I can see I'm connected successfully to German server.

Whatismyip.com shows Munich as location.

However when i go to www.dazn.com it seems to detect I'm not in Germany.

Have some sites got wise to VPNs?

Annoyingly yes.

I used to use smartdns to use Netflix USA on my smart tv but Netflix have now updated the app so I can no longer access it.

The result is smartdns haven't got their subscription and neither have Netflix.

If Netflix and others actually spent as much time organising global rights, instead of dealing with everywhere except the USA as an afterthought, they'd probably make a killing

It's not the fault of Netflix, it's the owners of the content who make much more money by selling the rights multiple times to different regions. No one company could pay as much for global rights as ten/twenty/thirty separate companies do for rights in their region.

Some sites look at your country settings on the browser and the time settings. Try setting time zone to that of the country you're trying to be in.
