The VPN supplier maintains that the BBC has been blocking large quantities of IP addresses connected with VPN services.

“This has unfortunately changed our UK servers too, but rest assured that we are working hard on a remedy,” said BolehVPN. The BBC is now working on a code-based system to permit British people abroad to get the iPlayer but this would exclude non-Brits expecting to get the streaming service.

“I also can report that getting BBC IPlayer is now hopeless. Things have been becoming worse in the past few weeks.

During the summertime, GlobalWebIndex released a report that said up to 60 million individuals outside the UK was getting the iPlayer. As the flowing platform a part of the BBC, the license fee funds it. Those is a cause for contention and would be paying nothing.

More than 38 million in China are considered to be using proxies and VPNs to observe the iPlayer said the report.
