On an entirely technical point it is clearly not all VPNs - I have just
tested with 2 different ones that I can use and neither are currently
blocked.

Both are VPNs with endpoints I control and are not through commercial
services. So perhaps they are just targeting the major VPN providers
such as the one mentioned above.

Clearly an issue if you are a BBC licence paying UK user with a VPN in
the UK to which this is relevant.

Not entering into the debate about inside/outside UK etc which is indeed
off topic.
