>>What is your system time? If it's not British time you're somewhere else
I am not based in UK. Do you think I should be changing my iPhone timeline to UK? It will be a clunky workaround but doable.
>>What is your actual IP? Where is that IP based?
Would you please tell me how do I use the above command to run in my iPhone to find my actual IP? Please note that I keep my VPN on 24 * 7 so that my real IP is never sent out on the web.
>>What is the return-time between a ping (or similar) from the BBC to you and back?
It should be around 18-20msec when I last did a speedtest with the VPN on. How can I check my ping time to the BBC iPlayer site? Is there a website which will help me do this?
