BBC iPlayer - Does it still work or do I look elsewhere?

Hi,

I am in the Nordics and looking for a VPN that bypasses BBC iPlayer. I can’t find a concrete “Yes it works” post that isn’t 4 months old, can anyone confirm NordVPN works with BBC iPlayer? I’m literally only buying it to watch it.

Thanks!

Yes, it works (used it last week from the USA), but you may need to connect to a few different UK servers since some get blocked.

Generally works for me…say 95% of the rime

Yes. It usually works. Sometimes you’ll not be able to watch it via the webpage. But I usually find that you can use yt-dlp to download directly or sometimes refreshing the VPN server will help.

I’m currently in Thailand and I just checked BBC iPlayer and it works fine here connected with UK VPN server

I have it on my Shield and it works 95% of the time first go without any fuss. Very occasionally it’ll say something like “something went wrong”, and I need to force close the app, then choose a different UK sever on Nord and open again. The mobile website on my iPhone works even more than 95% I would say, very very rarely had to retry.

It works, but sometimes if you’re watching a series you have to reconnect to a different server after each episode which is a pain.

Thank you for the confirmation!
