Utilizing a VPN for IPTV
When you pair a VPN with IPTV, you gain enhanced privacy for your streaming activities. Your ISP won’t be able to track your online actions, and the IPTV provider won’t have access to your real IP address. By masking your IP, you increase your security, as knowing your IP address is crucial for any potential hacking attempts.
Additionally, with your IPTV connection encrypted, your ISP can’t monitor your internet traffic or throttle your bandwidth. Encryption also provides security when using public networks. If you stream IPTV over public Wi-Fi, your login details are protected, even if intercepted.
Moreover, by using encryption and routing through a VPN server, you can bypass media censorship imposed by restrictive governments.

Overcoming Regional Blocks
When using IPTV services, you might encounter various barriers such as government censorship or firewalls at schools and workplaces. By connecting to one of Surfshark’s VPN servers, you can bypass these restrictions and regain access to your IPTV content without any hassle.
Public Wi-Fi
While public Wi-Fi can be convenient for streaming IPTV content on the go, it often comes with significant privacy and security risks. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic, protecting you from potential snoopers and ensuring your data stays safe, even on unsecured networks.
Online Data Collection
Without a VPN, advertisers can collect your personal data while you stream IPTV and use it for targeted ads. Surfshark VPN helps protect your privacy by encrypting your internet connection, limiting the amount of data third parties can gather about you.
