Not had issues, using ControlD on a MikroTik AX2, for streaming forgein content tho I watch mostly BBC, ITVX etc. Run it behind my RAIN Huawei 5G CPE Pro.

Right, US Gmail account, VPN, Peacock app installed to Telkom LIT Box, logged in on my free Peacock account, works a treat. No longer need to watch Peacock via a browser on computer anymore. So for now, Telkom LIT Box does not return to my desk drawer.

What’s a US gmail account, how is that different from any other gmail account?
How many ads does Peacock get.

You VPN to US, then create your Gmail account from "within" the US, seems Gmail accounts have some form of region marking/tagging attached.

If I setup my Telkom LIT Box with my local gmail account, VPN to the US, and try install Peacock or other US streaming service apps, get service not available in your region, message.

Register/setup the LIT box with the US created via VPN e-mail address and all US streaming service apps are available to install via the Google Play Store. When you VPN to the US.

No dodgy side loaded apps, that you have to uninstall and re-install for updates.
Apps update as and when, they become available.

Watched the first episode of the new Magnum PI, and did not get any adds, but then ControlD blocks adds, so might be different running a normal VPN.

Hopefully this answers you questions.
