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.

    FYI ControlD works to get around this restriction, no VPN needed. Tested on Hungary race replay and that loaded up just fine from an Australian IP (pro is blocked downunder).

      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 it’s 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 cases… nice
