Today, for the first time, I couldn't use iplayer. As usual, I switched country to UK, cleared browsing data, deleted everything from temp app data file before going there. Was using Firefox. Tried same procedure with Epic browser. Same result. Chatted with Nord support. They wanted screenshots of results from dnsleaktest dot com. Tech said wait while they checked it out. After a little while, chat terminated. Created a ticket via email.

Have BBC finally made themselves bullet-proof?

Interesting write-up. But I wonder e.g. what the benefit of this would be over using Wireguard? It's easy enough to set up on a UK router and then with a tap of the button you're sending requests via your personal VPN to UK to the internet.
