| 39 | +- Your VPN, VPS, DNS proxy or HTTP proxy is blocked by the BBC |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Any discussion of methods to circumvent BBC geo-blocking is forbidden in both this issue tracker and the support forums. Don't lie about your location. We don't care where you use get_iplayer, but if you are outside the UK, that is almost invariably the reason you are unable to download a programme, so you would be wasting your time and ours by posting a support request. We coudn't help you even if we wanted to. |
