Frequently asked questions
Is using a VPN legal in the UK? Yes. Using a VPN is legal in the UK; what you do while connected is still subject to UK law.
Which VPN works with BBC iPlayer? All three of our top picks streamed iPlayer in our September tests, but servers rotate — we re-test monthly.
Do you get paid? Yes — when you buy through a link on this page we may earn a commission. It never changes our ranking, which is set before the commercial terms are looked at.
