I recently moved to Australia and couldn’t watch the testing sessions. Realized F1TV is blocked in Australia. I’ve read that you can bypass it by getting a VPN. Well, I’ve got a VPN but still no luck. Anyone knows how to bypass this issue? Or am I doomed to watch it on fox sports… thanks in advance!
Using VPNs carries a risk of your F1TV account being suspended. Please take this into consideration.

they are aggressive on vpn use.
There’s no guarantee as they’ll keep blocking newly detected VPN IPs. The VPNs then change their servers until they get detected and blocked again. You may find luck alerting your VPN and hoping they’ll change the IP, but you can still be blocked again at any time.
As others have said, VPN is a hit and miss and also depends if your peobider supports P2P or residential IPs in the regions you want to use, to reduce chances of detection.

If you have a Fox Sports subscription through Foxtel, you should be able to connect it with an F1TV account.

You need to use either Smart DNS Proxy or DNS4ME
I use Smart DNS Proxy and I was able to buy F1TV Pro and watch no problems.
