Hi,
During the recent Winter Olympic I tried to open the videos for it offered by
a website station. It was not possible, instead a site opened telling me that
for whatever reasons I am not allowed access since I am not within the
European area.
Questions:
How do they know where I possibly am?
Can that be overridden and how?
Thanks & regards
