Mine is good but I have a few clients that have issues when games are on.
Well kickoff 1 minutes ago, and all went black.
Thought maybe the ISPs had decided to spare us this time, so we can watch Canada play, but after a minute, it all froze. Oh well :)
Turned on my free Windscribe VPN (I have 50GB/m free), connected to toronto server which is my default, and all is streaming fine again.
Anyone in this IPTV hobby, should always have backups if you can't go without missing something. I have 2 other servers and both do not experience blackouts (guess they are not on the ISP radar - YET). I also have 2 VPN services to be able to bypass local ISP restrictions, or even remote geolocation restrictions. Hey, it's a cat & mouse game.
This just proves that right now, the ISPs (which are mostly owned by big media giants - who hate IPTV), do have the power to block access to many servers.
If this was a simple fix, I am sure they would have already implemented it. I don't think anyone expected it.
Not myself personally, but I do have users who don't know and haven't the last 7 days or so according to them .Quote:

is it not only free for 1 month?Quote:

They have a totally free vpn with no data or bandwidth caps. I have never used a vpn and luckily, this isp blocking hasn't yet affected me.
Just trying to find something to help the clients out that are being affected. They also don't want to pay for a vpn when they can just switch to a service that isn't affected. But that could also change down the road I assume.
pay $3/mo?Quote:

Most of them are still running xpl 3000 boxes, so cheap is an understatement.....lol.
The free version of proton VPN only allows you to choose from 3 countries (US, JPN, Netherlands). And the US servers are pretty heavily loaded most of the times. And for NL and JPN severs, well they are so far away that there will be lag I am sure (but if they have bandwidth that may not bee too bad for streaming. I haven't tried the NL or JPN servers, but the US servers were NOT useable for any streaming (at least at the time I tried).
Winscribe VPN has a free offering also, but it is by default only 10GB/month unlimited connection. I know they used to offer a voucher code to upgrade that to 50GB/month (which is what I used ages ago) and it works quite well. I don't know if the voucher is still available/working, but you can check out the link below which is a quick review. About halfway through the article it shows you how to enter the voucher (and the voucher code). Like I said, I don't know if it is still available, but it is worth a shot. I keep windscribe on my phone for when I connect to public WiFi and to bypass restriction of some firewalls. Their Stealth connection uses TCP/443 which is very rarely blocked (since it is the same port for https). For a free vpn it is a no brainer.

am I the only one seeing this?
you save about $100/mo on programming but can't spend $3?
I'll be right back because I have to turn all the lights off and turn down the furnace so I can justify paying for a vpn...lol
Sorry to burst your bubble but vpn ipvanish doesn't work on my end-freezes everything. I have tried it 3 times now with the same result.
really?Quote:
