OBVIOUSLY I'm an IT numpty, but my VPN is in Frankfurt.

This means that half the time I get things like this;

And my lovefilm account is happy to take my money, but won't let me watch any movies.....

Anyone?
FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    Why not disconnect your VPN connection and go through your "native" connection?
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Same same, either pop out in Finland or Munich....

    However, if you use firefox, there is a proxy switching app, so, I can go via the local route or the business route at the click of a button.
