No it's the ISPs that are blocking the servers, a UK VPN should be fine and it should also give you the best chance of no buffering as you should have minimal speed drop and a low ping.

If no UK option then best to use one close to the UK such as Netherlands  stay away from USA ones though

Oh ok might try a uk one to see if it makes any difference.

Can anyone recommend a VPN that allows multiple accounts? i.e I could use the VPN in my house and my Brother could also use it in his. Or is this standard for most?

Thanks

I recommend Private Internet Access, allows connection from 5 devices simultaneously. £30ish per year for a yearly sub.

That's a good deal but can't see it on their site. Best is 1 year deal for £109.
Was it a Black Friday Sale  offer that lasted a few days?

Edit; It says for 1 year but it's actually for 2 years, so ignore above Angels

Do you get any speed loss with Turbo?  I was using Touch but speed loss was an issue.

Whats the speed reduction like?

[Wabaloolah]

Whats the speed reduction like?

depends on the server, without a VPN I get around 50mbs D/L, with PIA connected to a UK server it drops to mid 30s, Netherlands between 25-30. Usually the Ping improves.

Not tried it much with many others but stay away from Ireland as it's an awful connection and the speed and ping on US is around 8mbs
and a ping of more than 150 so you get constant buffering

I signed up to this vpn yesterday allows up to 5 devices and is supposed to be a lifetime subscription.  Using the promo code cyber40 worked out at £13.90. Have put on phone and firestick was worth a punt. So far so good. https://stacksocial.com/sales/vpn-unlimited-lifetime-subscription

Hardly any speed lose at all, but I only use it on my android box and not on my PC.

I recently been looking at my tv bill at home and its massive, so I have decided to look into the World of IPTV. I want to use it for the Family tv use at home, as I do Sky and so on. Im a complete novice.
I did some searches on Google and Im seeing these deals from providers such as Giantiptv, IPTV Choice and so on. They claim to give deals for so many channels ect.
Well my question is has anyone subscribed to any of these? Also what do I require before I sign up? IPTV box, such as a MAG? And is it what its claimed to be? Is the quality good? I have a internet speed of about 90mbps fibre. I really am looking for something simplistic. I dont want any hassle loading channels and so on. thanks

[Trada]

Just as the football started my Fl..less went down again I thought it was blocked again.

checked Turbo VPN and it had disconnected started back up and everything is working again.

I guess that proves it works on a android box and its free.

For PIA if you have a powerful enough processor, I have not noticed a significant speed reduction. On my PC the speed is more of less the same 48Mbps instead of 50, and the same applies on my mobile smartphone.

Looking at there fb page I see no option to sign up to a service, only buying a box then a sub on top of that?

Didnt realise Processing power would influence something like this. My brother watches via Smart IPTV app on his TV but I'm wondering if it will handle it OK.

Depends on the encryption you are using. You can turn encryption off if all you want to do is hide the IP address you are visiting from your ISP.

Just so everybody knows that with a Zgemma - if you use Wooshbuild - (Latest version) it comes with Digibit VPN built in.

Flash version 7 of Wooshbuild onto Zgemma

Go to Plugins, Wooshbuild

Go to Digibit

Install

Sign up to Digibit VPN (£2 a month)

Insert Username and Password

Choose Country

You have a VPN

---

Its a million times easier than using OpenVpn on the Zgemma, that is near on impossible

Used it for Flawless last night - no issues at all with Ireland server.

[Groundskeeper Willie]

Down for maintenance. Locked while we catch up on tickets. What does that mean?

Easiest way is something like a fire tv I wouldn't go near the cheap chinese boxes and I have no experience with mag etc but they are supposed to be decent.

The quality in most cases is not far off sky

Never heard of the ones you mentioned but check this link for reviews https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/. I have used a few and am now going back to streamcenter after using floorless because they accept card again and it is a better user experience (tv guide, sportscenter & can use on 3 devices at the same time)

You can sign up straight away but some now only take bitcoin.

Your internet speed is plenty.

You will need to do a bit of research and none of these no matter what anyone says is perfect but they are well worth the little bit of hassle.

That is just the website,when you have a problem or question you can send them a "ticket" via your logon.
 
As they have had problems when the football is on they have been flooded with questions so have closed down the page until all have been dealt with.

Not a problem as they still have full support via their Facebook page.

I don't have Facebook, so I'm screwed there.

When you say "just the website", is there another way I can access my streams on there or how do you mean? I mean, like via Kodi or some other device, like my Apple TV?

The streams should still work as when I say website I mean the support part of it.
 If you don't want to join Facebook I can ask about Apple TV but I use Kodi on my PC

[Pheeny]

removed because it gives a link. will pm it to you.

[Pheeny]

plus the website is back online.

[Mactavish]

Whatever I use and pay for has come under a DOS attack tonight or some shite like that so had to hear about all of the lovely goals.

[pezzzer]

Unusually for my IPTV bt sports was not at it's best, HD was a nightmare and SD was ok 90 percent of the time but it did buffer a few times, I switched over to Canadian tsw 4 and it was back to HD loveliness.  BT was under some sort of block was It?

[paulrazor]

My BT was perfect. And it usually is jittery

[Halewooder]

Same ere. Ended up following the game on twitter. Box is back up again now but recorded the highlights from itv so will catch up with them over the weekend.

[pezzzer]

I don't think there's ever going to be a perfect setup for anyone as it proved last night, BT perfect for some, jittery for others but I love the fact IPTV gives you choices as there's always BEIN sports which is spot on when ever I've looked at it or American or Canadian channel in HD with English commentary. I've had the magbox setup for 2 months and never missed a game since. Best 120 euro I've ever spent.

[chris2006]

Does anyone have the DigiBit configuration details for an OpenVPN client for the mac? I've submitted a ticket but unsure on the response times!

TIA

[Fighting Irishman]

Just PM them, they supply sub only options too, Android, Mag etc. €60 for 6 months or €110 for 12 months

Everything is running perfectly too, no VPN required either and Paypal accepted

[Wabaloolah]

Personally I stay away from the likes of Sky and BT and go for US or Canadian channels. The picture generally is more stable and if a higher quality and you don't have to put up with the inane wibblings of Neville and Tyler
