VPN use

Recommended Posts

As I have raised on the last 2 match threads Hearts TV are using software that detects I am in Livingston when using my usual VPN that I have been using for over 5 years.  The problem is that my browser is Microsoft Edge and I need to switch browsers.  I tried Chrome but it defaults to Bing/Edge.

 

Advice please: what browsers do others use to watch Hearts TV.

No idea as I use the browser on my TV now.

I got my Hearts Intl TV account closed for vpn use. They stated I was using Chrome.

 

I don't really know too much of VPN, but possibly they know from ip adresses that vpns are using. I'm guessing.

Nord which I only use for Hearts tv international when I'm in the UK but its never been an issue. Elsewhere I use my legal subscription but its also on my firestick streamer.

This will work off your IP address, not your browser. I suspect that your current VPN is " leaking" your real ip address, if it's detecting you are in Livingston.

 

You can check what IP address is being presented here;

Try it without then with VPN on & the IP address should change to the country you've selected.

Anyone tried https://duckduckgo.com/  as a search engine?  

 

It's supposed to be good at blocking trackers and the like.

Use NordVPN and Chrome.  Never had an issue.  Only use it for away games.

At a guess - the browser could be providing including location info. Have noted on Apple devices you have to have location services turned on to use some apps in the past. You can disguise your IP but you can't disguise your gps info. 

 

Wonder if there's something similar going on with Edge.

 

Also recommend Torguards IP and DNS check service.
