If you do in a shell,
ifconfig -a
how many IP addresses do you see with and without VPN? If an extra
appears when you enable VPN, then I think you can configure your routing
tables to make that one the gateway for your BBC IP block,
and the default be the one that you use when VPN is off.
On the other hand, A is you, B is the WiTopia server near you, C is the
WiTopia server that does the decryption, and D is the target of your
request.
A -> B -> C -> D
You get to choose where C is. And if you do't choose, it would be
stupid of them not to automatically put it as close to D as possible.
On the third hand, if you are _ONLY_ using it for http requests to BBC,
then a simple proxy in UK would be a better solution.
