Watching BBC iPlayer abroad

Hi Steen,

We're glad to clarify this for you.
Unfortunately, certain streaming services has taken counter measures to block its users from accessing its content through SecureLine 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 our streaming servers such as Wonderland, Glasgow to check if it allows you to access BBC iPlayer.
Thank you for your understanding in advance!

My main reason for AVG VPN is to be able to watch BBC iPlayer when abroad. It worked fine on my iPad in France for more than a week. I then changed the VPN to show "Copenhagen" and I could watch Danish TV. When I changed back to show "UK London", the BBC iPlayer would not give me access because it could see I was abroad. I get the same result using my PC.
Why can the BBC iPlayer detect that I am abroad? Any settings I can use to restore the ability to make it look like I am in the UK?
