Wow. It'll be their 10 year anniversary next year. I wonder if any other channels have been around as long?

My VPN is installed on my router, so all devices connected are behind the VPN. The GCN+ app works fine on the Mi Box S, except for live Tour de France coverage. I queried it with them last year and they said they don’t support the Mi Box S.

Below was yesterday’s stage of the UAE Tour.

Prefer not to run VPN on router - as you say then EVERYTHING traverses the VPN (unless router supports Split Tunnelling - and not a lot do). Although it works fine for GCN+ - reality is that (on my 200Mbps fibre line) it reduces the overall speed by at least 40% - in most cases much more. As such I prefer to run NordVPN on a per device basis - only disadvantage is that NordVPN is not supported on all devices (i.e. Apple TV).

You've literally just answered what I was about to ask. 

Also just want to add +1 for loving GCN+

Best subscription service I'm currently paying for hands down.

Try when the Tour is live, like I experienced last year. Highlights work fine, as do other races just not the Tour. There's the ticket below.

If they've updated it since, then bonus. If not, I'm sharing what happened last year July.

I have two routers, one is the ISP's provided one, which doesn't allow any configuration. This is the reason why I have a second one.

Also, I can't change settings on my work laptop, but can select wifi networks. Another reason why I went with the router setup. It's what works for my setup.

Makes 100% sense. Two routers will solve that issue.
