You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.

Is this from now? I’m currently on holiday in the UK and I’m using a VPN to watch the race.
Yeah. I live in the UK, but my F1TV was bought using a VPN to another country. When I go in now and try to rematch last weekends race, I get a geographical error message. Tried different countries on the VPN, same message.
Try Edge, I couldn’t get it to work on Chrome, but Edge worked last weekend with France as VPN location
Worked for me last weekend too. It’s just gone into affect today I think.
How can they tell it’s a VPN connection?
I’ve just checked with mine, they claim to be able to obfuscate that I’m using a VPN.
Will find out on Saturday, not looking forward to going back to dodgy streams tbh
The race replay for Hungary is a Pro video you can test now if you want to get contingencies in place.
Doesn’t work now. Oh well, off to the high seas!
Don’t they have a pool of IP addresses owned by VPN providers? Or is it more sophisticated than that, eg they look at packet headers.
Remember when mobile phone providers would block you if you were tethering to a phone by checking TTL count on the TCP packet headers.
