It is possible to watch BBC iPlayer outside UK from abroad?
BBC is the most popular and the oldest TV broadcasting service in Great Britain. Naturally, the BBC iPlayer is the most popular online streaming service in the UK. The iPlayer can be accessed online directly through BBC's website or downloaded as an App on multiple devices. The most popular ways to watch British TV on iPlayer is through websites on your PC and Mac or on a mobile device with Internet connection. One of the best features of the iPlayer is the ability to download programmes to watch them later within 30 days.
However, the best part must be that it is a completely free service and is without any advertisement. However, unfortunately BBC iPlayer is only available in United Kingdom. If you have tried to watch iPlayer from outside UK you would have come across a message "BBC iPlayer programmes are available to play in UK only".
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to unblock BBC iPlayer outside UK to watch BBC programmes? Fortunately there is a way, otherwise, needless to say, this article would be pointless.

Compared many VPN providers recently, and ZoogVPN is consistently very fast to UK and Europe. Wide range of VPN protocols supported, and the app just works faultlessly and is easy even for someone who doesn't understand VPNs to use. Had a couple of feature requests which were not only replied to, but implemented within hours - so cannot fault the support team at all, highly recommended!

I used ZoogVPN since October 2017 for Android and Macbook. No product is perfect on this earth, and ZoogVPN keep making improvement behind the layer. I give 5 stars for the following points: + Stable connection and fast for download and upload + VPN works for terminal / OS console + Respond any problem with fastest solution + Easy mobile app (user friendly) + Release ZoogVPN app for mac is awesome ever instead complicated TunnelBlick + The affordable price, really cheap, compare to its competitors. I really recommend this VPN!!
