I tried using a VPN for iPlayer, and I was able to watch one episode of a show before it caught on and blocked me.

I had to create an account, including a fake address located in the UK. And even then, it didn't work.

I'm curious how you're doing it if you're not having issues. Do you have to sign in?

Yes, we created an account with a fake address as well. We use NordVPN. Sometimes we have to switch exit nodes, but usually it works.

I use Mullvad and it seemed like they knew no matter how many servers I tried.

I just download stuff instead

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
