Hello there! Well, the website www.bbc.co.uk can tell where you are accessing it from based on a number of factors such as your IP address, the settings within your browser or even through tracking cookies which have given out locational based metadata. The fact that it redirects to bbc.com in your case means that BBC uses GeoIP database services to match your IP location with actual geolocations and then decides what response should be sent back for a specific request.In this aspect, the use of VPNs may make look like some requests arise determine inaccurate location and simply block access resulting out query returning wrong data ir relative redirect requests. However, in many practical conditions developers just prevent requesting IPs routed over congestioned Path from expected regions too.
