Don't understand why are using a UK VPN from the UK to access the UK ?
First - Most standard VPN advice about using BBC iPlayer

You are right, it does, certainly for TV anyway. Hence I am adding the
exceptions in my original post so the iPlayer radio should be bypassing
the VPN (plus I am using a BBC "compliant" VPN

If I click say Radio 2 when the VPN is connected, then the Radio 2 Icon
appears, besides which it says
- Jeremy Vine (i.e. name of the current radio show)
- 29/11/2019
- BBC Radio 2
- 320kbps, VBR, AAC LC

Hi - does anyone know how to get BBC iPlayer radio working with a VPN

- CyberGhost is meant to work with iPlayer but the radio doesn't work.
But that should be irrelevant since I have tried adding the following
exception URLs (amongst others) which bypass the VPN altogether.
