Websites such as BBC iPlayer allow you to view all the programmes they get in the UK, whenever you want. The problem is, these websites use technology that can see where in the world you are watching from and block anyone from outside the UK. Well, by using what is known as a "proxy server", you can watch these programmes from anywhere. Follow the Instructions below.

1) Go to www.expatshield.com and download the FREE program //**Expat Shield**//. 2) Install it on your computer. An icon should appear in the bottom right of the task bar when it is running. 3) Right click on this icon and click - connect. 4) Wait for the connection to establish. When the light is green, you have a connection. You can now watch any of the programs from the sites below.
