Originally published at: IPTV Not Working with VPN - Solutions
This guide will provide solutions for IPTV not working with VPN. We’ve recently had multiple reports within the TROYPOINT Insider that Surfshark VPN United States servers aren’t working with various IPTV services. Users indicate that they can successfully use their IPTV service only if they connect through a VPN server from outside the United States.…

With ItTecbasics, I was blocked on US servers. Switched to Columbia and works fine.
Correct, I go through that in video and also talk about US servers that work with better speeds.
One reason I figured out was I did not update Surfshark on my NVIDA Sheild and probably need it updated too. After that it all worked with layers IPTV
I only had the described problem with Surfshark for ITTech Basics. This provider plays just fine with ExpressVPN with no server restrictions. I had the exact opposite problem with Apollo. Go figure. Nevertheless, a dedicated personal vpn server does sound like a cool option.
Dedicated IP address is a game changer but it costs more than the VPN itself 
. I wish I would have done this right when Surfshark came out with it. No more hassle at all when running a VPN.
well now that i watched your video and put what you said into practice i found that there are more then Lathem that worked for me.. besides the statics from NY.
Ty i love sitting under your learning tree
Just wish i could afford that router you talk about

Troy, thanks for your investigation into what is the actual issue with Surfshark US locations not working with selected IPTV services (and only those services). Makes total sense for what I have been experiencing (some work fine with Surfshark US locations and the ones you mentioned do not). Now, I have several workable solutions for getting my 1 year IPTV renewal to work as it had in the past. U da man – thanks again for everything you do for us.
Ipvanish works fine with Kemo services.
Not just Kemo IPTV
I have had this problem with Xtreme HD IPTV and Surfshark for months. Can’t use Detroit, and now I can’t even use Melborne Austrailia. I am now using another different country. It was Xtreme about a month ago who first recommended I use a different country. They must know of this problem. I have an ethernet connection with much slower download speeds being out of the U.S.
PM. I have some insight for you on this.
Hello everyone, this post wasn’t meant to hash out what the best VPN is as this has taken place a hundred times on this forum already.
This is like comparing if Windows is better than Mac, you will get differing opinions and there will never be a winner.
Unfortunately, this is hijacking this topic and we will start moving posts to where they belong.
Here is my statement again.
We always try to drive home the fact that some VPNs work better than others depending on outside factors such as Internet service provider, network, equipment, etc. Also, everyone has different use cases for a VPN service. One size definitely doesn’t fit all when it comes to choosing the right VPN!
Before Complaining Please Read This
All of our top 3 VPNs provide a 30-day money-back guarantee for their long-term plans. If one of them doesn’t satisfy your needs, simply ask for a refund and try a different service. Please don’t complain that you got ripped off and one of the VPNs doesn’t meet your standards. Take advantage of their money-back guarantees and move onto a different VPN that works for you!
