BBC iplayer with AVG Secure VPN?

Hello Cat and AVG,

I still have the same problem as before, changing it under streaming made no change and the p2p you refered to I cannot see anywhere so this issue is not resolved for me, and I believe many users have the same problem. Thanks in advance for some more advice.

Hello Charlotte,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
We will check and help you with this issue.
Please open AVG Secure VPN program window.
Click on "change location" and select the locations available under "Streaming" and "P2P".
Check which location from it allows you to access bbc iplayer.
You can also connect to the streaming servers (locations) such as Glassgow, Wonderland or Gotham City in AVG Secure VPN to check if it allows you to access BBC iPlayer.
Thank you.

Having the same issue. I have successfully accessed BBC in the past using a different free VPN, so surprised this paid for VPN won't work. Am I doing something wrong? I have tried all 3 locations, including under the streaming settings. Can AVG add a new location as I think quite a few customers are having this issue from threads on this website

The majority of VPN providers have the same issue. Services like BBC iplayer, Amazon prime, National lottery and most(if not all) banking sites have implamentations in place to block public Ip addresses used by VPN providers. In the past I have tried 1)Hide my arse,  2)Nord VPN and now I have AVG VPN as part of my ultimate subscription which also has the same issue. These companies don't want people using thier services out side of the UK and are doing everything they can to block users like you and me from doing so. I am not aware of any work arounds unfortunately.

That is a pretty poor response tbh. So, I'm overseas right now and have tried BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime - neither work. I've tried all UK sites and Gotham City (never going to work for a UK based user). Your answer above is the same you gave for Amazon.

Hello all, 

Does anyone have success with watching BBC iplayer using this VPN? I have changed my location to London, GB but it still wont work. (I am located outside the UK at the moment, one of the reasons I purchased this product was to wacht iplayer - I have another subscription coving the UK tv channels)

Really hope someone has an idea!

Thanks
Charlotte

We're sorry to know that the issue persists, Charlotte.
Unfortunately, certain streaming services has taken counter measures to block its users from accessing its content through Secure VPN servers. 
While we do continue to add new servers and ip addresses, they are quite fast to identify the same. 
However, you can try connecting to streaming servers that are available in Secure VPN to check if it helps.
Thank you in advance!
