OK....  No reply expected to this as you're busy, but this is the first
set of results, using browser access rather then LMS (which I'll do this
afternoon).


Using Firefox, from same laptop where LMS is installed, and with Flash
DISABLED in F'fox options.  And I'm sitting in Paris.

A) Direct access, no VPN.  
Radio 4 FM stream works fine; R3 Stream works fine.
R5 Live Sports Extra (Live cricket commentary:
https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/cricket/43878000) - Silence and an error
message. I'm assuming there's a region restriction.

B) NordVPN connection to UK server
R4 FM stream works fine; R3 Stream works fine
R5 Live Sports Extra (Live cricket commentary:
https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/cricket/43878000) - works fine [So, it
thinks I'm in the UK].
I also tried assorted websites on the BBC that have strict region
restrictions [eg, the TV iPlayer] and they all worked fine under the
VPN.

[There's no net access to R4 LW, which is also carrying the cricket, so
I can't check that out here, as I will be able to do via LMS.]

So, the VPN is not causing me a problem via laptop net access, so far as
I can tell.

[An aside for cricket fans: this year, for non-UK residents, the BBC
have also provided access to the TMS Live Commentary via a YouTube
channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VfC8Y6nsVY   which is very
nice of them!  For me, I can access that with no VPN, but *with* the
VPN, I'm blocked, as it's strictly non-UK.....]
