If you are experiencing a VPN Error or 'Proxy Error' on a streaming service or website, there a few tips on how to fix this.

  • Make sure you are connected to the correct VPN region (i.e BBC iPlayer would be a UK Server)

  • Try another server, try another available server to see if it fixes (for example, if you are using United Kingdom, try the London or Manchester server - you may also want to try and force close the app on your device to make sure it refreshes)

Still having issues?

  1. If using a browser, such as Chrome or Safari, you can clear your cache (learn how)

  2. Force close the streaming app (see how for iPhone / Android)

  3. Restart your device

  4. If on mobile, try disabling 4G or Location Services in case your device is sharing your physical location.
