Parting Thoughts

BBC iPlayer is a great service with fine-quality content. The news, sports, drama – everything on BBC is grand. But in New Zealand, you cannot get the service due to geo-restrictions.

Since we were up to solving the problem, we decided to add another to the mix. Now we need to figure out how to get BBC iPlayer on Amazon Firestick in New Zealand; one problem wasn’t enough clearly.

We got to the root of the problem – IP address. As you access a service, website or application, it checks the IP address. On detecting an out-of-region IP address, it blocks you out. As a result, you feel left out in New Zealand and continue missing the content on BBC iPlayer.  

But, if you take help from our trusted and smart tool ExpressVPN or NordVPN, you can configure how to get BBC iPlayer on Amazon Firestick in New Zealand. After VPN changes the IP address, you get instant access to the service in New Zealand. Later integrating Amazon Firestick with the BBC iPlayer application became a blip.

Hope this read benefitted you, and you can now watch The Night Managers and EastEnders from your home in New Zealand.
