<div dir="ltr">Paul,<div><br></div><div>I'm also with Virgin Media and have had a similar tech support conversation. I didn't mention I was running a Tor relay to them at the time (do you know anything about their policy regards Tor?), but they checked through all my 'Super Hub' settings including the port forwarding I have set up so I imagine they noticed. They couldn't explain it at all, and because it seems like a completely device agnostic issue (phones etc also don't work) - it is probably on the iPlayer provider's end. I also noticed that I was getting 'Forbidden' errors from the <a href="http://nhs.uk">nhs.uk</a> site a while ago and posted about it here - but right now I seem to be able to access everything there just fine so maybe they have reviewed their policy on Tor nodes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Matthew - that's an interesting point about switching out the router MAC address. I'm not currently using a separate router, but might consider it in the future. I guess though that if this is the result of a provider blacklisting all Tor relay IPs, the new IP will just get added to the list as soon as it's published and it'll be blocked again. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I think I'm going to continue to harass BBC support about this under I get a response other than 'have you tried turning your router off and on' or 'check your IP is registered in the UK with your ISP' - ugh...</div>

I have had several issues that appeared whilst running a Tor network.<br>
This has happened to me too even though I switched mine (relay) off several weeks ago…<br>
I have notified BBC (via supplied contact forms 3 times) and have had no resolve<br>
Other services affected have been <a href="http://nhs.uk" target="_blank">nhs.uk</a> & <a href="http://lovefilm.com" target="_blank">lovefilm.com</a> although since switching my relay off these now work again.<br>
<br>
My supplier is Virgin Media and I have spent *hours* on tech help support.<br>
Nobody can answer this.<br>
My dynamic WAN IP (assigned via DHCP) never changes and I’ve been told it "can’t & won’t ever change…”.<br>
It’s been the same IP address for years...<br>
Therefore if anybody wants to monitor or divert my traffic they can.<br>
<br>
Who provides your service?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Paul<br>
