iPhones in France

Have an iPhone 6s plus, updated and on 3. Previous years not been able to access any of the sky bet/fantasy football/super 6 sites etc as outside of the UK.

Any way or app that can disguise your location allowing me to access these sites ?

Cheers

    Don't know about Apple, but on Android there is an app called "FakeGPS Free" that allows you to force your phone to believe it is wherever you set it to.

    Edit:
    This may help?

    Isn't the streaming service going to get the location from the ip the phone's using rather than anything to do with gps?

    You'd need a vpn that masks the real ip. Are there any that an iPhone can use?

    Thanks for quick reply but looks like it needs to be jail broken on that link, mines still bog standard

    Thanks, I'm not very techy but I understand that and remember reading somewhere that it could be done, just cannot find it.....
  • It's a broadcast rights issue, the work around is to use a VPN to access the web from a UK IP address, the free ones I've tried are pretty useless and I don't want to pay for one just to be able to access some UK content when on holiday.

    In addition, I understand the broadcasters are getting cute and blocking access from known VPN addresses.

    If its just for accessing the web and not streaming then download either (or both) Vypr VPN or tunnelbear from the appstore, both give free VPN data of 500mb a month, if you want to stream you will have to purchase a sub for more data.

    thank you will give it a go. Not for streaming, just to mainly log into my fantasy football as I'm top our league and cannot afford to miss two weeks worth of games :rotfl:
