more and more restrictions in the UK mean that alternative methods ae needed to login. it used to be a simple case of https:// and then the .eu suffix on the end.
now ive found that all dont work with virgin media, so ive installed Browsec: for firefox and get through every time.
i was using hola for chrome, but found it was hit and miss with poor download times.
the firefox addon can be found here and free to the masses - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browsec/
