IPTV with NordVPN Buffering - Provider states only use Europe NordVPN Servers

New to IPTV. Provider has been good for 3 months. Over the last week always get buffering every 30-60 seconds with NordVPN on. With VPN off, no issues. Provider suggested using Europe servers with NordVPN. Those servers ping at 40-50 mbps. Using best server in US gets 120 mpgs on NordVPN. Any suggestions? Is this a NordVPN issue (try another VPN) or probably provider and time to find another IPTV service. Is it normal for an IPTV provider to tell you not to use US, Canada, or UK servers for VPN? Thanks.

Nord is having issues right now. If you search, it is all over these forums. I don’t know when it will be fixed, but the previous fix was to change protocol to TCP. Hope that helps.
