Is VPN required for IPTV ?

IPTV services are gaining popularity in recent times and are considered to be a good alternative to existing expensive cable subscriptions. With popularity comes pressure from content providers to throttle or restrict services. It could mean ISPs can throttle or even block IPTV services. But, yes we do have VPN as our saviour.

Currently ISPs are focusing on fighting Kodi addons and TV boxes, their next focus could very well be blocking IPTV. Users do not realize that their Internet connection is being monitored by ISPs. ISPS can see the sites you visit, your downloads, and the channels you stream online. By using VPN you can stay anonymous online. IPTV streaming is also being targeted by cable operators as well leading some IPTV services to be blocked. A popular example of IPTV blockage during Premiere League matches in UK. Some services are able to find a way around this but the most easy and reliable source is VPN.

  Advantages of using VPN with IPTV

Not only for IPTV, VPN must be used in general when you are going online. Moreover, VPN becomes more important considering the features below.

  Privacy: Google, Facebook and even your ISPs are constantly monitoring your online activities  thereby posing a threat to your privacy. If you want to go completely anonymous, you must use VPN. VPN encrypts your internet traffic thereby evading hackers and all other prying eyes.

  ISP Throttling: Many times you might have faced a constant buffering while streaming online videos. Even though your internet speed is high videos always seem to stuck. It happens when your ISP is throttling your internet speed. VPN can bypass the throttling effect of ISPs as the data transmitted by VPN is encrypted.

  Geo-Blocking: British and Australian ISPs will soon be blocking IPTV streams. So the your ISPs will soon block the URLs of IPTV. This is geo-blocking. Connecting to a VPN server altogether at a different location can help you unblock these services.
