Since yesterday in rush sports hours like right now, my strong 8k sports channels and some other categories like 4k channels doesn’t work without vpn at all. Some other non important channels work without vpn. When I use my own vpn those sports channels working!
Has anyone else experienced this issue of blocking with strong 8k?

I always use a vpn and I’ve not had any issues with strong 8K
ISP’s are known to block IPTV service. Use a VPN.
No issues with Strong + Express
Just this morning my Strong8k won’t work with a vpn.
Not sure what’s happening. It was working fine with a vpn yesterday.
what country are you in?
Just can’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to use a VPN 24/7…
When it comes to using any IPTV service and you’re in the UK: ALL UK ISPs throttle and block IPTV servers, this isn’t anything new.
A VPN is pretty much essential to bypass ISP restrictions, the way I look at it why would you NOT want to use a VPN?
Why would you WANT your ISP to see that you’re connecting to a dodgy, illegal streaming service?
Think about it… rubber up and use some protection peeps! 
What location do you choose? Also do you use wireguard?
Yeah especially when they were used to paying $100 + per year for iptv. But they don’t wanna pay for a 3 dollars a month for a vpn…
Other services (Netflix / Local free streaming) don’t always work when you are connected to a VPN.
Yeah I use proton vpn, wire guard (UDP), no idea why but when I watch uk channels I use UK servers no buffering, Aussie channels Aussie servers and New Zealand channels nz server and since I’ve been doing that for the last few weeks (touch wood) I’ve not had any buffering
I needed to put the vpn on tonight to get it to work also in canada.
As an aside, strong for europe, im in europe, has to be the best playlist ive seen across the board…Now, every major European country, the uk being the last , has “proper” 50fps streams across the board.
A vpn, hides your activity and stops your broadband provider from capping speeds…Im not an american, but that govt is one of the most intrusive anywhere…And it will be worse with the deranged orange sex pest at the helm.
Vpn software has bypass in it
U csn designate which ones to not use a vpn on
Are you based in nz? I’m new to all this but trying to find someone in the same country who seems to be having a good experience with one of these services lol
What vpn do you use in Canada?
im here for iptv. not politics bro
Then use a vpn. And given that iptv streaming is illegal…certainly in europe, there are threats that individual users will be prosecuted, they wont, but who knows…And USA wont be exempted forever…The orange one will have to reward his billionaire donors…sorry last mention of politics…Countries deserve who they vote for…lol
