VPN where content is blocked by geographic region issues. BBC iplayer

[davidst01]

I use PIA as my VPN. I tried to connect to bbc iplayer after connecting to the London server. I was unable to play anything as it says Im not in the correct region. I thought that a VPN would sort this out?

If you use a VPN that can connect to BBC iplayer please let me know which one.

The BBC are actively blocking VPNs.

I use StrongVPN who have a solution, the BBC still works (at least at present) with Hola Unblocker (I use it with Chrome).

I suggest we continue in that thread to keep everything in one place.

So this one is closed.
