Amazon Fire TV & Invizbox – Ensuring that default gateway & DNS are correct

To ensure that location is not detected, you may need to force your Amazon Fire TV  to send all traffic through the Invizbox VPN default gateway. Follow these instructions to do this.

First you will need to know the IP address of your router. For Invizbox by default this should be 

10.101.0.1     To check the IP of your router if you are not sure, follow the Instructions in blue below

To find the router IP on Windows.

1. Open up the program command prompt.
2. Type “ipconfig” without the quotes and press enter.
3. The IP address from default gateway is most likely the IP address of your router.

To find the router IP on OS X.

1. Open System Preferences

The important part is to change the last digit (maximum 255) so you get an IP from the same IP range as the router.
