 @anomnomnomaly @BBCRD @BBC_News_Labs Interesting - in the case of their site(s) as a whole, I can still visit and see, so whatever I did back then seems to be working still. As a test, I just went to iPlayer and started watching The Commitments, and aside from the "do you have a licence?" and "contains dodgy language, are you sure?", pop-ups it works fine on my phone. Will try on laptop later at home. FWIW, my VPN is with ExpressVPN. 4 comments
@anomnomnomaly @BBCRD @BBC_News_Labs If they have adequate tech support, try chatting to their techs. I seem to recall it was a fairly simple change to my local DNS settings - sorry, can't recall the details now...  @anomnomnomaly @bytebro @rothko @anomnomnomaly Sure, and if someone is looking for a good VPN, that's likely helpful. The chat was about using BBC stuff while the VPN is active. I can confirm now that I'm home that my ExpressVPN thingy (with a minor tweak on my local DNS, the details of which I can't recall) seems to allow me to watch all the BBC stuff (aside from the pop-ups mentioned earlier in the thread.) Just went back to iPlayer and it played The Commitments fine with my VPN active on the laptop. |

I've been wondering if I need to change my VPN provider... I've always avoided the 'big' ones and use a little Swedish based on called Anonine, but I'm connecting through UK based servers.
