Sky blocking VPN?

Unable to access any services via IPVANISH, simply fails to connect to any available server.

Anyone else?

As far as I'm aware Sky is not blocking anything (except maybe few file sharing sites like most UK ISPs).
Maybe check your broadband shield settings or disable it completely if enabled.

Unless mandated by court order Sky don’t block anything. They do have the Sky Broadband Shield active, it might be worth checking this on Sky.com.

My parents have Virgin and they have their safety device enabled and I can’t view any VPN sites.

Broadband shield is set to off.

Started working awhile ago, as did IPTV. Suspiciously after the football ended.

Your illegal IPTV service is subject to high court ordered blocking, if you’ve not realised this yet, then you’re about two years behind... catch up.

I know the IPTV is subject to blocking, I was curious about the VPN. I hadn't even tried to use the IPTV service at this point, just connecting the VPN failed.
