I’ve been using NordVPN to watch HBOMax on my firestick in Canada for almost a year with no issues. Upgraded to 4K max last week and it worked for a day, but since than has region blocked me. Other apps still work with NordVPN. It’s just HBOMax. Have been in contact with NordVPN support, but anything they’ve suggested has not worked. Also still works in browser on my computer.Hoping I can get some advice here!
What exactly have you tried with support? Do you get any error? Firstly try disabling cybersec in Nord settings and reinstalling HBOMax app, different servers might help too
My friends and I are in the same boat. We live in Europe and never had any problems until a few days ago. Hope we can find a solution soon.
UPDATE: I’ve been a NordVPN user for a while but decided to try ExpressVPN. HBO Max worked on my fire stick without a problem. Hopefully it stays that way!
I have the same issue - HBO is working fine on all my devices (PC, phone, tablet) except for the FireTV
I’ll second OP. No errors, just HBO saying not available in your country. I’ve tried this a couple days this week cycling different servers.
There’s no error message. I’ve turned off cybersec, deleted and reinstalled HBOMax, tried different servers, but nothing has worked. Just keep getting the same “Sorry HBOMax isn’t available on your are yet” message.

Quick update - I’ve managed to get HBO Max to work again. Using an obfuscated server instead of a regular server did the trick. To be able to access the obfuscated VPN option, you need to switch your protocol from the default “recommended” setting to either UDP or TCP. Hope this helps anyone else affected :).
What server location are you using? Perhaps try using different DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, or 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
This worked great. Spent hours trying to find a solution. Thank you!
