VPN with Dedicated IP (maybe the only way.)

[ukcouple]

I've seen a few post here recently about sites such as BBC player and Netflix not working with VPNs because they blacklist the IP address if it belongs to a VPN.

It's because when you use a VPN you are sharing your IP address with lots of other people which makes it easier to blacklist. It happens with all VPNs no matter what they say.

You see more and more often these days. "BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues."

The solution is to get a VPN with a Dedicated IP.

You get a unique IP address (not a shared IP address) in whatever country you chose (UK, USA etc) so you will not get blacklisted.

There are only a very few VPN companies which offer that service. NordVPN is one, and they charge 70 dollars a year for a Dedicated IP address.

Any comments before I shell out 70 bucks.?

Do they guarantee Netflix, BBC, etc will work? Having a dedicated IP will not necessarily give you access if it is still known to be an IP coming from a big data-center.

I doubt if they would guarantee it, but reading around the web it seems very unlikely that one unique IP with a single user would be targeted for blacklisting.

With a shared IP there could be thousands of people all with the same IP trying to access the BBC or Netflix servers so it's no wonder they get blacklisted, even though they may often change their IP addresses.

There are very few VPN companies which offer a dedicated IP and they all sell the benefit of hassle free access to BBC, Netflix etc.

The reason i got a VPN is to watch Netflix, BBC etc and right now it's more frequent failure than success. I have tried PIA and NordVPN and they both work only now and then. Very frustrating.

I think a trial of a dedicated IP may be the last hope. Worth a try at 70 bucks anyway.

I believe I have mentioned ExpressVPN before, they always ensure that at least one of their UK/USA/AU servers work with Netflix. Worth a look. I’ve been with them for over a year and never had any issues with Netflix.

There are only a very few VPN companies which offer that service of Location Changer for iOS. NordVPN is one, and they charge 70 dollars a year for a Dedicated IP address.

PS4 doesn't have a VPN client, so which method are you using? https://www.theloadout.com/how-to-use-a-vpn-on-ps4-or-ps5

VPN will be blocked too, eventually, better look for residential proxies.

You can get access to Netflix in Indonesia. It is pretty cheap (much cheaper than getting a VPN). As for the BBC, I can't think of anything on the BBC worth watching.
