In the last few weeks, there have been people reporting that redeeming codes from Turkey region using NordVPN does not work anymore. A few are saying they can, but it has been a hit and miss situation. In my case, it has worked flawlessly for the past couple of months, until recently. It seems that MS sometimes flags VPN servers or traffic, don’t know how it all works in the backend.
There is one workaround that I discovered, and it’s a feature of Nord called Obfuscated servers. I’ll drop a link below with detailed explanation but, in summary, this feature lets you connect though an Obfuscated server in another region and it masks itself as being regular network traffic from that region instead of VPN traffic.
Using this method I could redeem my codes without any issues at all. If you’re having any trouble redeeming your codes with your NordVPN subscription, gives this method a try.
Thanks for this. Thought I’d bought a load of 3 month codes that were useless to me. They’ve changed their checks so my normal VPN wasn’t working but NordVPN Obfuscated servers worked!
Oh my god thank you. I’ve been trying to find a solution for this for a week and I barely stumbled on to this!
Why nordvpn??? Just use VPN.lat for free
Hiw can i enable this option in Nord VPN? Still i cant redem code for Xbox Game Pass on PC.
You are a gentleman and scholar. Thank you so much!
If anyone tries this now, for me there is a very limited number of countries you can enable obfuscated servers in now on NordVPN. I need Argentina. There aren’t any in South America.
Hey how do you bypass credit card location check? To redeem code of game pass you have to enter credit card billing address that they confirm on where your card is registered.
Glad I could help, friend.
I’m not suggesting the use of NordVPN over others. Use what you want. The post is for people confronting issues with the NordVPN subscription they already have.
thanks man. i used VPN.lat and it worked great.
This option should be located in the menu that displays the list of servers. After activating Obfuscated servers, go to redeem.microsoft.com and try to redeem the code.
There is one with Surfshark. I switched from Nord to Surfshark years ago and it’s so much better and cheaper. They are constantly offering good deals to increase subscription during the holidays.
Having in mind that I don’t have turkish credit card
