hugopal So why aren’t you watching the BBC coverage over a VPN?
iPlayer’s ‘geoblocks’ still detect that I’m not in the UK (or that I’m using a VPN), using Astrill with a UK server.
Apparently, there are VPNs that get around BBC’s blocks, such as Express, but they’re actually crap for use in China (always being blocked).
So I use one that gives me dependable access to pretty much everything EXCEPT, it seems, iPlayer (and 4ondemand).
