Wireguard vpn not blocking geo location like openvpn did.

Im using a GLi travel router for my android tv for streaming (pluto app), but after a recent switch from openvpn (expressvpn)
and using wireguard, the app now shows me local content/channels (not US).

i doubt its my setup, as besides updating the router and redoing settings, nothing changed, and connects just fine to the servers,
but im not familiar with WG, and wanted to see if anyone has come across issues regarding WG (hiding) location for streaming services.
 
after trying another config with another provider, there was no change, but i noticed virtually no traffic going thru the travel router,
so i changed from excluding nothing from vpn to (only) use the vpn on listed MACs,
and decided to not only empty caches (apps/store), but delete data completely, uninstall streaming app and reboot,
since its been working fine with channel selection from the vpn server (location).
