Whenever you want to watch BBC iPlayer (in Spain, or anywhere overseas), you simply spend 30 seconds chatting to an ExpressVPN Live Chat agent and ask them for a list of UK serves that are open to BBC iPlayer. To do this, ExpressVPN runs a Live Chat service via its website. As you don’t have a dedicated IP you need to connect to a UK server that’s not been blacklisted by BBC iPlayer. Watching BBC iPlayer with ExpressVPN is a little different. This provider regularly tops Best VPN lists and provides a lightning fast and secure connection. If you don’t want a dedicated IP, then the next best service is ExpressVPN (£5.96/month). Note: I’ve been using a PureVPN’s dedicated IP since December with zero downtime. It costs less than £3.50/month (when you sign up for the service for two years) and because you’re buying dedicated IP, your connection won’t get blocked (see below for explanation). The service I use is PureVPN with dedicated IP. To start watching BBC iPlayer abroad again, you’re going to need to use a VPN with servers and IP addresses that aren’t blocked. This means that all the free and cheaper VPN – that funnel thousands of users through the same UK servers and IP addresses – no longer work with BBC iPlayer. The BBC has started cracking down on the use of VPNs to location spoof and has started blocking the IP addresses of popular VPN servers. Until recently, any VPN was good enough to spoof your location and start watching BBC iPlayer again.

BBC iPlayer will only work for connections coming from inside the UK. To watch BBC iPlayer in Spain, you’re going to need to spoof the location of your internet connection. See also: Which VPNs still work with BBC iPlayer? How to watch BBC iPlayer in Spain
