    thats on their home page. Actually very good!
    I think its €1.67 per month if you go for 39 months offer in the OP, and cashback on both of them, so after cash is refunded both work out a lot cheaper.

    Edited

    I think it works out at around €10 for 2 years and around €15 for 3 years and 3 months.

    What location does it use? If I want US Netflix and bbc player, should it work for both with smart dns? smartdnsproxy allow you to select which region you want for Netflix etc.

    Both these links are for using the VPN. No mention of smart dns.

    I didn't check them, I may have been mixing it up with my last one. I don't use the smartDNS. I have had no issues on this connecting to Hulu, BBC iPlayer or DAZN, but I haven't tried Netflix from any area. I have tried others and not had any issues.

    My last service was NordVPN (I think there may be months left on it) and they had smartdns service for streaming. But they got flagged on a few security sites as being dodgy, and there was another issue with logs, so I left. When I went to surfshark I wasn't looking for smartdns but saw they had it. I think it's mainly for devices that can't run VPNs though.

    I've not had the need to use it.

    I use this service too and I have to agree. I get all the free tvplayers, no geolocking, and disney+ works great also. Dazn is launching in a couple of months in the UK so I hope their dns servers work with that as well.

    Got Liar working for my mother Thursday night.

    It happens every now and then, they have to change up the flagged IP's.
    I think that night I chose to use multihop - India -> UK.

    They are usually quick to move on it. I have to say I prefer this over Nordvpn for many things, but on this the UK TV only failed once for me (BBC iPlayer) I was unable to get it for a day no matter which server. Support is ok too.

    It’s only on virgin media.

    If you don’t have virgin media just make sure your router isn’t assigning an IPV6 address or your device isn’t displaying an ipv6 address.

    Still no Live ITV Hub, really hope they can fix it. It was main reason for getting it.

    I'm not having any issues at all with ITV hub. It works flawlessly for me.

    I know it works on my devices at home, but I just installed it here after reading your post, to check it up to date.

    Did you give the app access to your location (I didn't)
    What UK Server are you using, I chose Manchester
    Postal Code M1 1AG
    I use a disposable email. Agree to T&C, I didn't tick to subscribe to emails.


    I just played 2 minutes of Agatha Christie's Marple, Ainsley's Mediterranean Cookbook and An Audience With.... (Billy Connolly) - and I am still watching that :)



    No issue with any of them

    I can watch all shows on hub but when I try watch ITV 1 or 2 live it no longer works. I also use Manchester.

    Ahh.. I didn't try any of them, and I am just after turning everything off.



    Aren't there a load of UKTV players in the play store? I remember there was a while back, I haven't looked in a while.

    Filmon was one a few years ago, does that have it?
