Obviously, but Ifollow has a list of fixtures which are blacked out due to TV coverage internationally, depending on where you are based. 35 minutes ago, whistleblower said: yes - it has the same message if accessed through VPN (us based) or UK ISP I bought a season pass so I'm not seeing the message, so apologies if I'm stating the obvious a bit. 35 minutes ago, The Bristol Nest said: Ifollow didn't work last time despite vpn use and different broswers. Any thoughts? Yes it did. Adblock was the problem. Disabled Adblock after about 30mins and it worked perfectly as soon as Adblock was off - Last week the game was on Sky which means it was blacked out and was never available on Ifollow Edited December 22, 2018 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted December 22, 2018 It was the previous game but thanks I will turn off adblock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peanuts 150 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) No match pass showing for me and when logging in with VPN says access restricted from my location... Edit: After much fiddling now have access. Fingers crossed. Honestly, I have no interest in watching non-league football at 3pm on a Saturday, I'm already a season ticket holder, why the bloody hell can't they allow us to stream these games officially? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd happily pay the club for some kind of away game season streaming pass. I know the blackout is a national thing, but seems crazy in this day and age.

kick it off 1,948 Posted December 22, 2018 It's working perfectly fine with Adblock off. I have video button already and checked it, it is working. If it's saying access restricted with a VPN, then I suspect you're using a free one that they have blocked. If you are using a paid for one, then you just need to change country.

Making Plans 936 Posted December 22, 2018 More and more sites who have some type of restriction on who can watch them (e.g. BBC, ITV, and maybe iFollow) are now analysing traffic to identify heavy/unusual IP address use, which are more than likely to be those used by VPN servers, and blocking them. After all, It is very unlikely that there are 100's, if not 1,000's, of people all using one IP address unless it is a VPN. As I understand it there are still a few VPN's that haven't been found or are better at playing the "cat and mouse" game by changing their IP address on a frequent basis. A VPN service which can offer you a dedicated UK IP address at extra cost may work. Most of the better known/popular/simpler VPN providers are easy to detect so either they don't work now or they probably won't work for much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think you're right - they sussed Opera VPN servers at the end of last season - I pay $1.99 per month for dedicated servers. Can't complain at all. Works every time.

Peanuts 150 Posted December 22, 2018 I've used windscribe and expressVPN at various times and it's hit and miss. Clearly they are actively blocking them as some servers will work and others won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Dad had this issue with VyperVPN. Looks like some of the VPN providers have been blackballed. He downloaded Browsec during the game and it worked instantly. PS - Blackout restriction is UK law - it would need to be repealed before anyone can provide that service - I suspect Murdoch is working on it as we speak.
