I thought VPNs were supposed to block your IP address. If that's the case, then how come I'm still geoblocked on the BBC iPlayer?
Might be a daft thing to say, but are you connected to a UK server?

Just checked it, and I think it's an Irish server, which would explain it. Have switched over to a UK server, but still no joy. Either on the mobile or the firestick.Might be a daft thing to say, but are you connected to a UK server?

Sadly this is increasingly more common. Many services have automated vpn ip logging. For example netflix will now know you are using a vpn and not block you but hide tv shows and movies so you simply do not see them listed.

Just signed up for Surfshark. Seems to get decent reviews.

Do they know this through the sheer traffic connecting to Netflix on 1 server?

Ever so slightly unrelated (!) but I'm using nord on my fire stick and android tablet no problem. However, I can't install it on my windows pc. My ISP is Vodafone and they block access to any vpn website, nord, Expressvpn, tried them all. Can anyone think of a work around or has anyone installed nord on a window pc with vodafone?
