VPN half working
« on: August 30, 2014, 03:08:18 PM »
Hi.  I live in Qatar and have had a strong VPN here for a couple of years.  It was an open VPN which worked fine through a to link router.  Due to slow speeds I opted to change to what many others had.  A pttp VPN still with strong.  I hoped the low encription would increase my speed which it did.  The problem is that it does not work on some sites.  For example it works with Netflix and BBC I player but not itv player or sky now TV.  They both know say that I am not in the UK.  I have done a speedtest on speedtest net and it is showing server in the UK.  Anyone any ideas why some sites know that I'm not in the UK even though my VPN router says I am.
Although I am with strong they were not helpful as they don't support ddwrt with pptp, so as a novice I followed these instructions.  Can anyone see what might be the problem? Thank you in advance
