iplayer-proxy

Docker packaged smart DNS proxy to watch BBC iPlayer outside of the UK using BIND and sniproxy[n1]. This is a somewhat outdated clone of my other project, called netflix-proxy. Please try to use that project instead, as this one won't be maintained.

Instructions

The following is based on a standard Ubuntu Docker application image provided by DigitalOcean, but should in theory work on any Linux distribution with Docker pre-installed.

1. Head over to Digital Ocean to get $10 USD credit to create a Docker VM
2. Create a Droplet using Docker 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 (find in under Applications images).
3. Make sure you create the Droplet in the UK (LON) data center.
4. SSH to your Droplet and run the following command..
5. cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/ab77/iplayer-proxy.git && cd iplayer-proxy && ./build.sh
6. Point your DNS at the Droplet IP to watch content avialable on BBC iPlayer regardless of which country you are in.
7. Enjoy!
