Use a VPN or proxy with an IP address outside of Australia.
I use a proxy through my browser. Works alright.
I haven't got betangel to work through a proxy yet. But I am sure that's doable....

if you're looking for an anytime/anywhere solution, then using a VPS is your best way fwd. VPN's suffer from quite a few complications and Betfair etc can be quite strict when dealing with VPN's. However, a UK registered VPS allows you a huge number of benefits:
1. Process can be run from anywhere
2. can be monitored via RDP from any operating system, even using a mobile phone
3. Process has 24/7 availability, so is a more stable platform (in general)
4. USUALLY a far better ping to the betfair servers and all round better bandwidth
You don't have to use the BA offerings on VPS. You can use the budget offerings which can be for as little as £15 a month.
In short, don't fanny arse around with VPN's if you're relying on this as your bread 'n butter. if it's a part time pursuit, £15 a month is still less than a round of drinks at your local.

Absolute no brainer
It really depends on how Betfair have tagged your account. Most likely they have tagged the account as an Australian resident and that'll prevent in-play bets wherever you connect from, but there's a chance they are just checking the IP address of the incoming call.
You could ask Betfair if you were to go on holiday to the UK if you would be allowed to place bets in-play, if that's a yes then the VPS will work for you
or alternatively, just try the cheapest VPS for a month and see if it works with your account.
From mine and others experience, It doesn't matter, If you are betting through the api ie. Bet Angel, on a server based in the UK, you will be fine to bet in-play.Dallas wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 2:01 pmIt really depends on how Betfair have tagged your account.

I have never had an issue. I used the VPS for a while and then tried a VPN (Vyper), this works fine and you can connect to the Betfair site from your phone and it is all good.
Running BA from my desktop was a problem for a while. Vyper were very helpful and all I have to do now is make sure the only two things open are the VPN (first) and then BA and it has no issues.
Most of the year the VPN is all I need but I do go to a VPS for the Big Bash.
