many VPN companies use third party or free software (OpenVPN, SoftEther) to connect rather than their own software.\u00a0 You might be a fan of open source software like this, however it does limit the control you have over the client (and it&#8217;s abilities).\u00a0 \u00a0From a security perspective open source software is normally good, however if your focus is on bypassing geo targeting then it&#8217;s possibly not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>The second component and the one that&#8217;s arguably more important is the VPN network that your client connects to.\u00a0 These VPN servers are spread across six continents and 59 different countries, all available in the standard subscription.\u00a0 When you start the software you are able to connect to any of these servers which creates a hidden, encrypted tunnel where all your data is channelled through.\u00a0 \u00a0Your own computer will not be visible to any other device on the internet, which means you can pretty much surf anonymously online.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: medium;\">Anonymity Means You Can Choose your Location<\/h2>\n<p>Crucially your IP address will be invisible, only the address of the VPN server you have selected will be visible.\u00a0 Which is why a VPN can bypass most geo restrictions, simply because you can choose where you appear to be located.\u00a0 So if you&#8217;re surfing from France you can select a server from <strong>Royaume-Uni<\/strong> to watch something that&#8217;s only accessible in the UK like BBC iPlayer.\u00a0 Your user experience (and IP address) will match that of a British surfer while you&#8217;re connected to\u00a0 British VPN server.\u00a0 Equally switch to a <a href=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/index.php\/how-to-watch-bbc-iplayer-in-canada\/\">Canadian server<\/a> and your digital location will switch to Canada, and you&#8217;ll be able to access Canadian only resources as well.\u00a0 In fact you can change your identity to any of the 59 countries, restart your browser and you&#8217;ll have effectively changed your digital nationality.<\/p>\n<p>It seems churlish to imagine that nationality and your physical location is important on the internet.\u00a0 However this couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth, it&#8217;s vital something you&#8217;ll know for certain if you&#8217;re not located in a major developed country.\u00a0 \u00a0Although the subject of this post is to bypass the blocks and switch your internet connection to a UK one to watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>, there are many other uses than accessing media sites like Amazon Prime Video !\u00a0 Accessing many major sites\u00a0 like Paypal, Craigslist and loads of other mainstream services can be difficult from a Nigerian, Indian or African address for example.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: medium;\">More Details on Accessing BBC iPlayer From France using a VPN<\/h2>\n<p>If you search across the internet, you&#8217;ll come across many posts about how VPNs don&#8217;t work any more to access the <a href=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/index.php\/regarder-la-bbc-en-france\/\">BBC iPlayer from France<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/index.php\/how-to-watch-bbc-iplayer-in-spain\/\">Spain<\/a> or any other country outside the UK.\u00a0 \u00a0Like many internet reports there is some truth to this story but it&#8217;s certainly not completely true!\u00a0 \u00a0What&#8217;s happening is that the BBC have upped their game in both detecting and blocking connections from VPN services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tv-1529259_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-345 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tv-1529259_640-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tv-1529259_640-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tv-1529259_640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have done this using a few methods but one mainly one technique.\u00a0 The <strong>BBC now analyses how many connections<\/strong> are coming from individual IP addresses.\u00a0 If there&#8217;s too many then the connection is presumed to a VPN or proxy and the address is temporarily blocked.\u00a0 \u00a0This is a relatively simple and effective method of blocking access from people using VPNs to bypass their geo targeting blocks.\u00a0 It&#8217;s simple when you think about it, two thousand simultaneous streams to Match of the Day all from the same IP address &#8211; kind of suspicious.<\/p>\n<p><em>It&#8217;s why many VPNs don&#8217;t work very well with the BBC iPlayer currently &#8211; because their IP addresses are being blocked\/blacklisted.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Most of the cheaper VPNs now don&#8217;t work because of this, simply because they&#8217;ve got too many users on each address.\u00a0 However the ones that do work well are the slightly more expensive ones which have less users streaming from the BBC like <a href=\"https:\/\/identityvoucher.co.uk\/cloak\">Identity Cloaker<\/a>.\u00a0 The other VPNs that work are those with a larger infrastructure who take a more proactive approach by switching out addresses to ensure that there aren&#8217;t too many concurrent connections.<\/p>\n<p>NordVPN for example recommends if you want to access the BBC from France or any other non-UK location then you use some specific servers &#8211;\u00a0<strong>UK# 1840-1847, 1850-1863, 1865, 1869, 1873, 1875-1878, 1880-1881, 1900-1901, 1903-1904, 1911, 1913, 1917, 1919-1920.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These have their IP addresses routinely rotated and monitored to ensure that they&#8217;re not blocked by the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Watch BBC iPlayer in France \ufeff How to watch BBC iPlayer in France plus every other British TV channel like ITV, Channels 4 and 5.
