The only location that'll let me log in and buy a video pass is North Macedonia. Any other location gives me an error whenever I try to log in or won't show me the option for video.

The best part about it is, I live in Ireland. I shouldn't even need to use a fucking VPN to access the game but they seem to have classed the entirety of Ireland as the UK. I'm down in the south not up north ffs.

Footybite is one I use if I have to. Usually pretty reliable.

Yeah it's a weird one but it's the only place that reliably works for me.

Never download anything...you don't need to, no matter what the site insists.
Streaming games requires no additional software.
VPNs in my experience help a little, but are not absolutely necessary.
Good antivirus/malware protection is very important... for me, malwarebytes blocks a scary amount of dodgy shit.

Seems to be getting trickier with the VPN. It took a good seven attempts today. Hopefully common sense prevails and they drop the Saturday 3pm blackout before the clubs figure out a way to block all VPNs in the uk. Surely both are coming?

Yes, never download anything. They are usually adverts that pretend to be the web site. Sometimes you have to reload the site 3 or 4 times to close the advert.

It’s more or less impossible to access iplayer and more4 these days using a VPN outside of the UK - I suspect it’ll get harder for those in the UK after this season.

I think they are in talks about getting rid of the 3pm closed shop to allow all games to be streamed apart from Sky games etc

I pay for VPN and have never had a problem, the EFL setup isn't sophisticated and realistically who is going to pay the money to keep designing the software to stop people watching. As far as I'm aware the IP location check isn't even continuous (or certainly wasn't)

I suspect the do occasional trawls of the logs and ban any known VPNs they can easily find from there, there’s probably a service to do it for you. That’s why the weirder countries are working at the moment and not the obvious ones.

Mine is a paid VPN that was bulletproof last season. I suppose they could just put in the terms that any VPN is a breach of condition and ban them all together if they really wanted to crack down.

This sounds like fairly standard for ifollow nowadays.
There’s no obvious rhyme or reason to it. Very frustrating.

I assumed they can tell if it’s a VPN at all (I often get pop ups on other sites saying I’m using a VPN and asking me to confirm I’m not a robot etc.). So I’m guesssing not then, it’s only if that same VPN connection is being used by others at the same time?

The only way to know if somethings on a VPN that I know of is to know the IPs that the VPN uses and blacklist them. So it would rely on someone maintaining a list which means the most popular ones get spotted first. That’s my guess anyway.
