My 5 VPN detected

Mon Mar 14, 2022 7:04 pm

A few weeks ago I discovered the My 5 website, where I could watch programs from Channel 5, but now I get this error message .. They must have upgraded their security :(

Are you using the 'Watch UK TV' setting in HideAway? or just accessing it via the UK Location?

When using a VPN, it is better and more secure to access websites with a clean browser (no history, cookies, etc.). Also, connect to the VPN first and then start your browser or app.

I always use the 'Watch UK TV' option connecting to Hideaway first but just tried 'My Computer UK, London' and got the same error message :(

Hi Nick, I'd been meaning to ask about this too :D

Were you able to look into it as your last post about it was in March!

Cheers, PG

I have the same problem with Mediaset channels in Italy.
Here's an example: https://mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it/di ... anale5_cC5

I have no such setting, even when connected to the UK server.

Thanks. I had not noticed the Redirect menu.
Any chance of including an option for Italian TV, in particular Mediaset? I tried using Brave's TOR browser option but even that won't work.

Don't know much about proxy servers but a short Google told me they can be quite expensive so I'm pinning my hopes on Nick fixing it ... he usually comes through! ;)
