BBC iPlayer is usually only available in the UK (although some Asian countries have their own version). As such, if you try to access it from India, you’ll usually see the following error: “BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.”
By connecting to a British VPN server, however, you can bypass BBC iPlayer’s geo-restrictions measures. This will allow you to stream your favorite shows from India, Pakistan, or anywhere else in the world.
