    I use Nord VPN, I think I pay about $2 a month. Works with sky, not sure about bbc.

    Doesn't work with BBC , if you use it to access BBC you just get 404 error. Good job the old bongo sites aren't so discerning.

    Something to be aware when using the likes of NordVPN is streaming companies know their IP ranges and will often actively block them, some even in sneaky enough ways where they let you purchase or take out a sub using it but when you try and play the video it will trigger the check and block it.

    For example using NordVPN, i can signup and pay for HBOMax but if I try and use the service with it I get a VPN warning. They do have plenty of options of servers and if you go through them all you might find one that's not yet blocked but the further the server is from the UK the worse video performance you will.

    So you might pay for 2 years of NordVPN and pay for a season pass on iFollow and find it then doesn't work or stops working part way through the season

    It's why I run my own VPN service for geo-locked content. I just spin up a new droplet on the hosting provider I use for this site and others in the country of my choice from a preconfigured image which gets me a new source IP every time and I can use any service I want in that country. Even if it gets blocked it doesn't matter as next time it will be a new droplet with a new ip


    Oh and you also need wipe all your ifollow/city site cookies and create a new account as they mark the region you are in when you signup

    Afternoon Simon.

    Gotta say I've had nord for a couple of years and using its GB based servers, never (yet) had issues coupled with Virgin Media.

    Good write up mind. Some considerations to take on board.

    It is a UEFA enforced rule but on request of the home nations. So if the home nations decided they wanted to scrap it UEFA would do just like they did during COVID

    Yes, I don’t have a ticket but as I’m desperate to see the game I’ll find some other illegal way of seeing it even if it means storming through the disabled gates or climbing over a fence. I mean, it’s ok to break rules isn’t it? Isn’t it? Anyone?

    I’m sure previously you could buy a IFollow season ticket, think it was about £150. That option doesn’t appear to be available. Anyone that cannot get to matches (ie abroad) could now be paying £10 per game, over a season it’s £460 vs £150 previously. Quite a hike.

    Didn’t see that is it on the City web site? Did look but must have missed it. That’s not bad then,

    That’s not strictly true if I’m anything to go by. I’m running through a VPN (top right of s/shot)
    My available choice is there to see.

    Ok then, a good VPN. The site can obviously tell that you are faking your location

    First thing I checked.

    I thought that’s what a VPN was supposed to do…. Fake your location, or is it a case of some do some don’t as it were?
