Streaming says Flash needs update in Chrome/ MAC

Hey all

So - I went to a site I go to everyday and for some reason today it wouldnt let me stream from it. I checked a few other sites that i pay for to watch movies and they also wouldn;t work. Keeps saying Flash is not up to date.

My research found that with this latest Chrome, you dont have to update Flash, it does it for you. Also when I got to chrome://plugins/ and select Flash - there is no option to ENABLE or DISABLE - just ALWAYS ALLOW TO RUN

Here are my details

MAC OSX 10.11.6

CHROME - says its up to date

When I go to my Advanced Settings/PRIVACY/CONTENT SETTINGS - it says my FLASH is not up to date

Ive gone through all the forums and lists on how to instal and now Im in a circle

What am I missing? I thought with the updated Chrome, this would be a moot point?

Only other info is I recently tried a VPN service which may have changed some of my settings

Please Help!!!!

Thank you
