Unblocker for BBC iPlayer - Watch BBC iPlayer Abroad

Unblocker for BBC iPlayer is a Chrome extension by Wachee, designed to bypass geo-restrictions and provide access to BBC iPlayer outside of the UK. Capable of preventing the 'BBC iPlayer only works in the UK' proxy error, this extension offers anonymous online video streaming and doesn't affect other websites' traffic. The free version gives 20 minutes of access daily, but a premium plan is available for extended streaming sessions.

doesn't work

Occasionally it just stops working, even when you're subscribed, also nobody answers your support messages. There is a much better one on the store called BEEBS which unblockers ITV too

Oliver Durant, 2022-11-12

only works for 20 minutes, which is fine, as 20 minutes is better than none, but the real issue is that BBC iPlayer still recognizes that the unblocker is being used, and gives an error message before telling you to disable your unblocker. please fix this, I am sure that I would re download it if it actually worked, even if it was just for 20 minutes.
