I’m from the UK, currently in Germany.
I downloaded a VPN yesterday and took the 7 day free trial.
I am connected to London, but I still cannot watch anything that is location restricted.
Any ideas?
More than likely the VPN is blocked.
Channel4.com usually works with most VPNs but the BBC iView does not, it will depend on the service.
I was trying to watch Sky Sports.
Try via your browser… 
The VPN is not compatible with specific services.
Only with a small VPN Company …
With a big VPN Company … NO way
I’m in Spain and I watch the BBC iPlayer all the time and on various VPNs over the years.
I don’t have sky sports but have you tried clearing the cache and selecting a different IP address each time. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get an address that isn’t blocked. Also you should try different protocols found in the settings.
Lucky you, it doesn´t work with mine.
I can DM you with VPNs that work. I don’t think I can say here because of the rules. But everyone I know watch BBC without a problem.
Its ok thank you, I am locked into my VPN until next year. I paid yearly.
OK, if you are using a browser delete your cache each time and try different IP addresses until one connects. Also if you can select “wireguard” as the protocol.
