Now I'm not sure if I'm being an idiot here, but I don't seem to be able to find the option to watch the game live? My Match Centre only allows me to listen to the live commentary, with no option around to watch it. I'm using a VPN with my location in America so I don't think that is what is causing the issue. Any help would be appreciated though!
iFollow issues? (1 Viewer)

Clicking on live match centre just takes me to 'live text' with no listen or watch live links there.
Clicking top right on sign in / register goes to a page with "Your Access Is Restricted From This Location" on it.
Coventry city fans forum fb page also had their stream taken down.

EFL onto it apparently, blocking streams from UK accounts using VPN's
I think they're on to it, first time I've had the message "Your Access Is Restricted From This Location" which suggests they're finding a way to block VPNs

How can they tell if an account is using an VPN or not?

Russel Slade must have got a job managing piracy at EFL ifollow.
“Russel, I want you to combat piracy of streams”
*viruses every ifollow stream, including those who’ve paid*

More likely to be a Russian cyber attack

I'd been using Hola on Chrome, but last night kept getting access denied even after reinstalling and clearing the cache. I changed to VPN free pro and it worked, before dropping in and out. I then disabled the extension and everything was fine? Odd.
Ifollow error, or targeting the most popular vpn extensions and are working down the list?

As a pure business decision, not sure why they would want to reduce revenue unless the EFL are on their backs

IQuick theory question, on my colleague’s work laptop, ha, to access outlook, Skype, Microsoft etc, you have to connect to the work VPN which server is based in Holland of all places.
When you connect to the Work VPN, it says on BBC IPlayer etc that sorry iPlayer will only work in the UK due to rights issues and when you google search for my location on an IP checker, it flags up you’re in Holland.
On this basis is it worth giving my work laptop a go or does Ifollow read the location of the internet you’re using?
It didn’t even dawn on me to try this until this morning.

Your work network may however ban streaming sites

They have a good but odd policy, where they’ve allowed me to install anything I like on it, Spotify, WhatsApp etc and when I’m not on the work Ethernet or WiFi, it works on Facebook, Front Row Sports and the usual sports streaming stuff.
Just wondered how Ifollow are judging whether someone is in the UK or not as it seems now they’re looking at more than IP....
Had this problem yesterday too. It is not to do with using a VPN it’s just a bug in the app I think. There is a simple workaround I found if you are using Apple and this was to simply uninstall the ‘Coventry’ app, turn off VPN, reinstall from App Store and then turn VPN back on. Worked for me on both iPad and iPhone.

People can also do it via who own's the IP address as well.
For example BBC and Netflix hammer complete IP ranges if they think they are dodgy and block them. I am not sure if iFollow will be as strict as they will about it BUT there will always be ways around it.
I've always used it through the browser rather than the app and it's been ok.

Hmmm I was using a browser with Strong VPN on Friday and was having the issues, Even changed to use googles DNS servers as that has caught out on Netflix previously. Nothing I tried worked. I have just swapped over to vigrin but would have thought a VPN wouldn't care about underlying provider as its a secure tunnel... odd one

Is there a rewind feature on ifollow?
I am expecting not, but due to a meeting I have tomorrow, I won't be able to start watching the game until about half time.

No and you don’t get the score or commentary either but that’s not a problem. It’s £5 a match.
I’ve done it about 6 times this season so not bad for £30.

there is - a bar at the bottom - you can go to wherever you want in the game, and the goals are highlighted on the bar
