So I want to add IPTV to my entertainment menu. (If you have good provider or app recommendations, DM me). But I want to run it through VPN.

What I’m thinking of doing is getting an inexpensive, second android box to use to watch IPTV. Then set up a VPN tunnel on my router and send all traffic from that device through the VPN.

That ensures I won’t disrupt any existing streaming services with VPN, and I won’t have to remember to fire up the VPN before watching IPTV (more importantly, I’m sure my kid won’t remember). Thoughts?

      The only thing you need a VPN for is possibly torrents, even then private trackers exist for a reason. They ain’t coming after you for IPTV unless you’re selling boxes to people.

      ISPs don’t usually care about iptv streaming, it’s uploading that gets you in trouble. Unfortunately I don’t have much advice for providers as most are garbage unfortunately.
