All BBC sites blocked?

ChewyChewy
in General VPN Support
It's expected that the streaming parts of the BBC are checking for VPN usage, but since yesterday I've found that bbc.co.uk and anywhere beneath it is inaccessible if running PIA.  Doesn't matter which end point is being used.

Is this just an issue with my setup or is it widespread?

    I was able to establish a connection to bbc.co.uk while using the PIA application using any endpoint. To make this work, you will need to go into the PIA application settings, select the network tab on the left pane, and under the drop down menu for "Name Servers", select "Handshake"

    Sorry to re-open this thread, but @PIAJerry I don't have this "Named servers" option.
    I am using PIA via an ASUS router (RT-AC86U)with VPN Client support, so don't I use the PIA application.
    BBC and Sky News stopped working on my network via VPN a couple of weeks ago, after previously working fine.
