Using BBC Iplayer Abroad - Watching BBC via a UK Proxy Server I travel a lot and when away there are two main Internet sites that cheer me up without fail - BBC IPlayer and Pandora. Unfortunately using the BBC Iplayer abroad and Pandora outside the US are actually quite tricky because they will only work with a UK or US workstation. Fortunately because I always surf through a secure proxy on the IdentityCloaker.com network, this doesn't really matter to me as my location is defined by whichever proxy I am surfing through. So I simply choose a UK server for BBC IPlayer. IdentityCloaker.com is the most sophisticated security software on the internet, it allows you to surf completely protected via a network of private proxies across the planet. These are fast, secure properly run proxy servers not the free slow ones infested with viruses that people normally try to use !! You might have also seen the dedicated VPN and proxy servers promoted to watch BBC Iplayer or some other online TV stations - they are usually a single server that is set up quickly. Why? Simply because when the BBC legal department threaten them (which they always do), they end up disappearing suddenly. Anyway when I am abroad and want to watch the BBC I just connect via a UK proxy and watch BBC Iplayer, if I want to listen to Pandora outside the US I just select one of the US proxies. It doesn't matter where I am as long as I have a working internet connection, because it's encrypted I can watch from anywhere. It is actually a fundamental point of using a proxy abroad, your IP address defines who you are and what you can see. So if you surf via a UK proxy this is how any web server you visit will see you also exactly the same as a UK Internet surfer. Because IdentityCloaker.com has fast proxies in lots of other countries you can use it to access similar restricted broadcasts in Sweden, Germany, US and many others. If you like music try Pandora.com for an awesome US only radio station - just select the right countries proxy and you'll be away. Of course you can use this method by using a free proxy but most are unsuitable for watching videos from BBC Iplayer abroad as they are so slow, but PLEASE remove the proxy before you start doing any other surfing remember free proxies are mostly hacked servers and your details are not safe being passed through them ! So can you use BBC Iplayer anywhere? Pretty much, as long as you pick one the UK proxies, it manages your connection in the background and encrypts you connection. You can even run it from a USB stick if you remember to take your login details with you, watch it through firewalls and when countries try to censor what you watch. If you travel a lot it also means you can access lots of other sites which have country restrictions stopping you watching the BBC IPlayer abroad. For instance I can access UK poker and casino sites from the States who would normally block an American IP address, Turkey often block Youtube and social networking sites but IdentityCloaker.com users just bypass this. In a few minutes you can be watching your favourite BBC Iplayer through a safe, fast and secure proxy If you like to watch or listen to the BBC and UK TV programs through Iplayer and you spend any amount of time abroad, you'll find it a fantastic investment. The software is simple to work and you just pick a proxy to connect to and off you go, remember free proxies are very slow and many are full of viruses. If you do manage to find a safe, fast free proxy server to watch the BBC Iplayer on, chances are it will be gone in a day or so. Why not treat yourself here to 10 days of the BBC Iplayer with the IdentityCloaker.com trial to check it works - for the price of a coffee and sandwich you'll be impressed I'm sure! The ability to watch media is not advertised on the web site but drop them a line if you want to check, the support staff are very responsive and will check out problems with any channels - BBC is pretty straight forward but ITV, Channel 4 and some US channels need to use the Open VPN settings in the program. Be very careful of companies who do advertise this TV facility openly, they frequently disappear overnight, after legal threats from companies about using BBC Iplayer, Hulu and ITV etc. There's a 14 day Money back guarantee on the software so you can't lose really -it's a proper professional solution that needs no skills, you select the UK proxy and you'll be watching BBC IPlayer abroad or wherever you are in no time.
