Yes just tried to watch Hungary replay using Nord, and can confirm it now doesnt work, saying Geo-blocked.
Looking on Reddit, apparently the Nord team are aware of it and are working on a fix. No estimate of time though!

Nord is working fine, I have a dedicated IP with them now and have double checked the real IP and location of my ISP is not detectable (as it was via cyberghostvpn..)
For those wondering - paying a little extra for a dedicated IP address via your VPN provider means the IP address is for you only, as opposed to sharing the same IP with several (often hundreds) of other users. That is how those IP addresses end up on the block list for streaming services quite often.
Now F1TV are updating and monitoring such lists, the chances of any/all locations on a particular VPN provider being picked up and blocked without notice is far higher - as this thread demonstrates. Some users have found working locations with IP's that have skipped detection thus far, but that could change anytime. I'd recommend a dedicated IP for F1TV from this point onwards.
Very happy to recommend NordVPN specifically based on my experience so far.

Unfortunately Ive just renewed Express VPN for a year - Ive had it for ages and F1TV was an added extra bonus - however F1TV renews tomorrow so at least Ive saved myself some cash there
It was nice whilst it lasted and as has been said repeatedly Im not paying SKY ££££££ for the service they offer
I'll keep tabs on the thread just in case things change, I cant see many VPNs offering a dedicated IP besides Nord and Express specifically dont. With the benefit of some thought getting rid of Captchas would be something Id pay extra for as would the niggles with some online retailers I use
Cheers

I just tried view FP1 in a my car at work and the live stuff is gone.
Will try doing the IP thing when I get home later.
I'm never going back to Sky. It's either sorting this out or looking into ARRRRRHHH methods. It's bulls
t that the whole F1TV production is made in the UK yet we are not allowed the option to even watch it. Edited by SoulGlo on Friday 28th July 13:19

And after making noises about rolling F1 TV out once the end of being hamstrung by contracts pre-Liberty, what did they do? Signed a new exclusive contract with Sky until 2029.t that the whole F1TV production is made in the UK yet we are not allowed the option watch even it. I think the issue is specifically because Sky are UK based, they are very imbedded in the F1 circus and have various contractions with F1 for content etc.

Without reading through the whole thread…
Apologies for the type of question, but can I access Sky Go on holiday for the race if I install a free VPN?
Will be using an iPad likely, or iPhone if I can’t get it to work.
I’m not signed up to F1 TV this year.
Just an update to say it really is this simple.Apologies for the type of question, but can I access Sky Go on holiday for the race if I install a free VPN?

So that's another £4 a month on top of the £6 for F1TV Pro. I think that's pushing my limit.For those wondering - paying a little extra for a dedicated IP address via your VPN provider means the IP address is for you only, as opposed to sharing the same IP with several (often hundreds) of other users.

I think it's still cheaper than any other legitimate way to watch.

Ok so I tried yesterday via my normal route and no luck.
Today I'm away from my home location of Canada, so Incognito mode on Chrome for the F1 TV website and a static IP address in the US via Surf Shark. Let me in to watch FP1 just now.
static IP via surfshark set in Amsterdam. no joy on F1TV, i am getting the same region blocked message. incognito chrome browser session too.Today I'm away from my home location of Canada, so Incognito mode on Chrome for the F1 TV website and a static IP address in the US via Surf Shark.

From Express VPN
I understand that you are having problems accessing F1TV while connected to the VPN.
I just want to let you know that we’re receiving similar complaints about customers not being able to access F1TV Pro while connected to the VPN.
At this point, we aren’t sure if the issue is more widespread or limited to some customers only. This has been escalated to the appropriate team and are currently looking into it.
I cannot give you an estimated time on how long would it take for the issue to be resolved but you can be assured that is that this will be fixed as soon as possible for you to continue accessing F1TV with the VPN.
If they don’t fix it I want my subs back!
Btw, how do you get your own IP address if that is what was mentioned as a fix?

I tell a lie. I was connected via Static IP rather than Dedicated IP (app hadn't updated in time). I'm now streaming qually from my dedicated IP address in the netherlandsewolg said:

They can't fix it, not permanently - not now F1TV are logging and banning suspect IP addresses. Get your money back if you can.I understand that you are having problems accessing F1TV while connected to the VPN.

Go to Nord VPN and buy the cheapest subscription - cheaper the longer you sign up for.. Then as you click continue/next you get the opportunity to add on a dedicated IP, the rest is all pretty straight forward and explained well by Nord.
Once you've paid and are on board you can choose which country your dedicated IP is based in - choose one where F1TV pro is allowed, I chose Netherlands and I'm watching Q3 right now
