Vpn on Tp link and Virgin super hub

    Ok I have VPN unlimited and I can't change my ip address to UK. I've been onto their customer support team and no joy.

    Not sure if it's any settings with the modem. I've bridged the superhub to a tp link modem.

    Is there anything I need to change in the settings to try and get vpn working?

    Do you mean a tp-link router?

    You are super shy on detail. Are you setting up the vpn on a router or on a pc/tablet/settop box? What error message are you getting?

    Sorry router

    I have VPN unlimited app on android box and changed server to UK. Then when I try to access BBC I player no joy.

    Can access it via Hola app just not with vpn unlimited app. Tried everything and customer services assisted but same issue. So was wondering if it was modem /router issue?

    What does this report show you after you have set up the vpn?

    BBC iPlayer are very efficient at identifying and blocking VPN IP ranges and blocking them.
    My VPN works great for UKTV, ITV and all other UK players apart from BBC.

    Are you just using the VPN app?
    Or have you configured the VPN to work directly on the router?

    Yeah just using the app

    So select the UK region and ip location shows UK but can't get iplayer to work.
