Privacy folks, I have a question!

How does the BBC know I’m not in the UK, even though I’m using UK servers on my vpn? I go to bbc.co.uk and it redirects to .com.

I have taken off location services, I’ve changed browsers.

I don’t want to use iPlayer, I just wanna understand how they know 🥸

Content providers tend to keep track on VPN exit node IPs, so they know you’re using a VPN

If I was in the UK, using a UK server, that concept would still mean they redirect the VPN by default to the .com ?
