Watch live UK TV and Catch up TV from outside the UK!
Including BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, Channel 4 (All4, / 4OD / 4 On Demand,) and Channel 5 (My5 / Demand 5)
This page is for a UK based VPN used to watch catch up TV. If you want to watch live UK TV, click here.(most countries). The USA is blocked for these live UK TV streams, (out of our hands), so USA users still need a VPN for live UK TV. Any other country who cannot access our live TV streams, sorry but our provider is blocking you. Please use the VPN. We hope to add our own live UK TV streams very soon and not rely on 3rd party provider!
To access UK restricted websites, you need a UK VPN or a proxy / Smart DNS service to masquerade your internet connection to appear to be in the UK. Most big VPN providers are blacklisted by the TV services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, iPlayer and more. We are operating a small VPN so people can access UK based catch up TV and other UK services via the VPN.
Important: This service is for the main UK based TV catch up services mentioned, we provide no support for Netflix!

4.2: Install the program using the default options, then click Finish.
Open the program. It runs minimised in the system tray (bottom right of your screen, next to the clock). Look for this icon which looks like a keyhole with orange circle-> 
If you cannot see the icon, click the small white triangle / arrowhead next to the clock.
You should now see the OpenVPN icon (see the image below).
4.3: Use the system tray icon to connect to the VPN
- Either right click the icon and "Connect", OR double click the icon.
- Enter your login details
- Tick the "Save password" box.
- Click OK to connect!
While the VPN is connecting, you will see this dialog box (below). Once the connection is established, this box will go away.
After 5-10 seconds when the dialog box has minimised to the system tray, you are connected! The OpenVPN system tray icon turns green.
Congratulations, you are now connected to a UK based VPN which is not on any blacklists, unlike many of the big VPN companies!
PLEASE DISCONNECT FROM THE VPN WHEN YOU ARE DONE. (Just double click the icon and choose disconnect). This isn't mandatory but it will help keep our server resources down and this in turn helps every user! Also it will speed up your web browsing if you aren't using the VPN as your data won't be routed via the UK all of the time!
5: Troubleshooting
- If you do not disconnect from the VPN in the proper manner, your web browsing may temporarily stop working. This is because your PC still tries to route data via the VPN when you are not connected to it. To resolve this, restart your computer or connect to the VPN again.
- In the unlikely event of any issue, restart your computer, or connect to the VPN again. Also you can email [email protected]
