For the first time, this also means that using a virtual private network (VPN) won't bypass these restrictions, as long as the server is based in the UK.

So a VPN will help? lol.

Impossible. The only way around it would be to pretend to be in literally any other country than the UK, and no one would you lie in the Internet! /s
