Strong VPN-BBC

Featured Replies

Has anyone been having trouble watching the BBC in the last few days? Despite changing servers I am unable to watch the BBC as the players keeps saying I am not in the UK, first time this has happened in two years of using the service. No problem with ITV.

Could be that BBC are collecting the IP addresses of commercial VPC servers and blocking them. I have heard of other content providers doing that.

I am using Witopia and no problem connecting to BBC through their London or Manchester servers. They also have one for Nottingham, but I have not tried that one.

Kodi's BBCiPlayer by Mikey still working today without any VPN or geo-unblocking extra addons at all. It was down for a few days earlier this week tho!

Hide my Ass works,had a dynamic one few weeks ago but now use Loc 2 in most instances to get BBC i player

Just connected to both the uk version of the web page and played a programme on I player using Strong VPN - no problem. Try again after you've cleared website data.

I contacted StrongVPN they said that they were aware of the problem and they put me on another server and things are working once again now.

Any reports of ITV Live/Iplayer having same problems....>??

Not as yet (never stopped for me) but they didn't announce that they would be blocking VPN access.

I expect a game of cat-and-mouse now with the VPN providers vs the BBC.
