FEATURES
• Bypass the \"BBC iPlayer only works in the UK.\" proxy error

• Watch online video services anonymously
This extension (provided by Wachee) will bypass any censorship or restrictions and will make your online streaming activities anonymous. This extension will not affect any other website's traffic and will only tunnel BBC iPlayer’s website.

PLANS
• Free: Provides free 20-minute daily access. If you want to stream more than 20 minutes a day, you can buy the premium service.
• Premium: This product costs $12.99 a month and it uses the fastest and most secure servers.
Unlike other VPN or proxy extensions, you do not need to change server locations and choose the United Kingdom. When Unblocker for BBC iPlayer is connected, you just have to go to the streaming website and enjoy it!

NOTES
• IMPORTANT: Please read the manual that automatically opens after installation.
• It would be better if you use this extension in an incognito window to ensure continuous streaming.
• This extension is an unblocker only. You must have a BBC account to use the service.
• This extension does not support all websites; It's ONLY for iPlayer.

Oliver Durant (ID: 00000028b6dbb1b8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/12/2022 Occasionally it just stops working, even when you're subscribed, also nobody answers your support messages. There is a much better one on the store called BEEBS which unblockers ITV too

icon

Pixel Mess (ID: 0000001127152001) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/05/2022 only works for 20 minutes, which is fine, as 20 minutes is better than none, but the real issue is that BBC iPlayer still recognizes that the unblocker is being used, and gives an error message before telling you to disable your unblocker. please fix this, I am sure that I would re download it if it actually worked, even if it was just for 20 minutes.
