If you are trying to watch a video on the website in Australia and see the “This video is only available in Australia” error, it may be because a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is active on your device. A VPN can reroute your internet traffic and location outside Australia, causing the error to appear.
Ongoing investigations have shown that recent backend updates by some VPN providers may be responsible for this occurrence.
Some common VPNs include: NordVPN, TunnelBear VPN and Express VPN.
Some security programs including Norton, Avast or McAfee will also contain in-built VPNs.
SBS On Demand is not supported to access with active VPNs. To resolve this error, you'll need to add the SBS On Demand website to your "allowed list" (whitelist). Please contact the support site of the host service for specific support to your VPN.
Alternatively, you can temporarily disable your VPN whilst accessing SBS On Demand.
