Custom Rules Help Please

Mon Jun 16, 2025 4:23 am

Trying to set custom rules so that I don't have to switch via the preset rules.
Lets say I want a rule for BBC
I entered location as UK, London and domain as bbc.co.uk/iplayer
I added a location under my computer & turned the tab on - location used here is Canada.

with these setting BBC rejects the connection :help

What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi

Odd, I did reply to this yesterday - not sure why it didn't stick

That London location doesn't work for iPlayer. We have some different servers for that, and that's why we have the 'Watch BBC iPlayer' in the dropdown. Also, it needs some different URL's for it to work, not just bbc.co.uk/iplayer

We'll give you all these in the near future as we upgrade the user interface to allow this.
