When navigating to the site https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer with Firefox's built-in VPN turned on and the Location set to the United Kingdom the site still displays the message "Sorry, BBC iPlayer isn’t available in your region.". Why is this, and how can it be fixed?

Hi,

The page specifically says:

If you are using a proxy or VPN, please turn off any of these services and try again.

So unfortunately, the VPN cannot help in this case.

Please note, however, that Mozilla VPN successfully works around this limitation.

If this is the case, why is it not working in my case, and how can I fix this?

Since Mozilla VPN is a stabdalone paid product, it has separate premium support. Please reach out to it for any issues.
