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.
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.
