In late 2025, TOD TV introduced new restrictions to block VPN usage across all major providers.
The change affects services such as ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, and others - all now return the same error 1400 message when trying to stream.
This happens because TOD TV now verifies DNS requests, not just IP addresses.
Traditional VPNs route all your traffic through encrypted tunnels, making them easy for TOD TV to detect and block.
The only option is to use non-VPN solutions that go around geo-blocks like SmartDNS.
So far it has been reported that StreamLocator reliably unlocks Tod TV. Many reddit users from the UK have reported that StreamLocator was the only service that solved the problem.
StreamLocator uses SmartDNS technology to solve geo-blocking which is much harder to detect.
