BBC have been blocking non UK users using UK service via VPNS for many years. This is mainly for TV rather than Radio. SmartDNS is usually the one which BBC blocks most completely. It sia game of "whack-a-mole" played by BBC and VPNs operators. BBC is constantly searching for VPNs source IPs and then blocks them. SmartDNS VPNs are usually much easier to detect and block. So is it "temporary" ? It is temporary that it is still working. As BBC (or Akamai) have managed to block VPNs using akamai, I think LLNW will be also be expected to come up with a better blocking strategy. When "Blocking" does occur - VPN operators reconfigure and try to find an unblocked IP address, users then have to reload/restart their VPN connections and so restore service temporarily until it is blocked again. Repeat cycle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109581 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
