You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.

Cheers. Could you possibly give a quick explanation oh how you set it up? I've taken a look at it and I'm confused. Haha.
Don't wanna pay for it if I'm not gonna be able to use it.
I think itβs this service https://controld.com/ it uses DNS to make it seem like your IP is something different to external parties without connecting to another machine/service to route your traffic through. In theory, much faster than VPN in some casesβ¦ nice
It's fairly straightforward. you first create a profile to use, in my case I used the VPN replacement profile template.
Then you create a device (in my case my windows PC) and link to the profile.
Finally you download a setup app, paste a code into it and you're done. App can be used to disable the DNS as well.
I must admit after using a VPN for so long it's a bit weird to start a stream without it and having it just work.
I've given it a try this morning and doesn't seem to be working for me. I bought the cheaper of the 2 options though. Which do you get?
Edit. Bought the more expensive option and ots working. Thanks.
