I just joined a iptv service which seems to be working great yesterday but not working this morning. I contacted the iptv service he told me to turn off the VPN and I did and it worked great. My problem is is it safe not to use it. Some idea’s would be greatly appreciated.

Can you try switching your VPN to a different server? Your ISP is going to know what you’re doing for sure.

I did try to switch it from Atlanta to New York but it still wouldn’t work. I am like you I am real hesitant to not to run a VPN.

I started having the same issue with 2 out of 3 IPTVS and the only way for my IPTV to work is to use a server outside of the US…. Not 1 server in the US would allow service…

I just switched to another country and it seems that it is working for now because I really like this iptv service. Now I hope it will last.

Also, the static ip section in Surfshark will allow your IPTV to work as well…

Unfortunately I am still with Express VPN. It has done well for me but I will switch to Surfshark in April when my year is up.

I just had to switch countries again because it stop working again. This time I hope it keeps working.

I think that other group may be fearmongering a little actually. It really does not matter at all where the VPN server is located, and it is usually best to pick the one in your country for the best speeds and most stable connection. The only thing that matters is that the VPN is proven to genuinely be a no-log one. The jurisdiction in which the server is does not matter at all, all that matters is the actual VPN company’s policy and location. So either all servers a VPN offers are safe to use or none.

Thank you. I used Moldova last night :rofl: .

Now that’s one I’ve never tried. :face_with_spiral_eyes: . How was it? Stable? Fast?. Inquiring minds want to know. Ok ok, I’m just nosey.:shushing_face:

I watched a movie on Kodi and it was flawless. Not a blip. I’m using it now for college football and it buffered on Strong. Switched to Netherlands.

17

Torrentio fixed the problems we were having and once again running flawlessly. Watched a couple of episodes of series we’ve been binging. Not one blip. Good to have it all up and running again. Even used servers in the US & Canada. Have a buffer free day.

Are you using Just Player still?

Absolutely not. No where near as good as exoplayer. Things like checking for the correct subs are far more difficult, even the display for stopping, pausing and starting as well as advancing is way clunkier. My displayed vids were “smokey” for HDR 10+. On both TiVimate and Stremio I went back to exoplayer.
