I had this problem because the app does a sanity check between your phone clock and your "location". I changed the clock to match my VPN locale and then worked backward from there.
If you can set the VPN to a place in the same time zone but far outside your actual locale that may work.
I don't know for certain that this will help but it's worth a shot.
