@neil thank you for this article, enlightening.
I've decided not to take any chances and have blocked my audio and a couple of images to UK based IP addresses through a CDN.
I have a question for you, if you don't mind me asking here?
In my blogs I state:
"Due to OFCOM regulations, this image is not visible to visitors accessing the site from the UK based IP addresses."
Would that be potentially perceived as me telling people to use a VPN, do you think? :)
@GoingDownWithSundial Hello!
i think that you would have to be *very* unlucky indeed, for Ofcom to take that interpretation.
IMHO, you are simply being transparent about the compliance measures that you have put in place. You are not telling someone how to circumvent them.
