No complaints about freezing, but I have a few customers which complain many evenings (last 2 weeks) that many streams are being blocked. Local large ISP in montreal area is blocking now and seems to be targeted. Using a VPN seems to bypass the issue. Confirmed with a few members on this forum also. Those who don't have VPN (or refused to get one), I have migrated to OK3 (which is not affected for now).


If you have VPN, try turning VPN on. Maybe your ISP is throttling.

Oh.. Interesting. I never knew. OK4 seems to work however with VPN.

I have not tried with OK3, since so far, have not needed to.

OK3 won't work with VPN, even if you choose the same city you are living in ? Does it use VPN IP blacklist, or just a geolocation lock (City, province/state. country) ?

Right now, no issues with OK2 or OK3 without VPN (yes in Canada). Honestly never tried them with VPN so can't really comment.

But OK4, it has been about 2 weeks, that one of our major cable internet providers (v1deotr0n and one of their flanker brands f1zz here in kebec ) have been blocking during prime time. On the weekend as soon as the football game kickoffs started, I started getting all sorts of messages (even from acquaintances that are using OK4 and not on my panel) :). For those with a VPN, it solves the problem. But some don't want to get a VPN or simply don't want to bother. If they are on my panel I offer to move them to ok3 for now.

I'm good with it, but I know some don't like it. One of my buddies is away on business, and he just spoke to his wife and she gave him an ear full :) Luckily he remembered his other box was still on OK2.

Thanks.

Guess different providers are blocking different services.
One of my customers has an OK2 sub and OK4 sub with me on 2 different boxes. OK4 seems to be blocked during sporting events (and prime time), but his OK2 seems to be OK for now :)

Good to know about OK3.

xtremehdiptv has a dozen names, which has always needed a VPN as long as I can remember. Good server.

And this relates to thread title?
