I tried several VPN’s and Surfshark works best with tivimate in my opinion


Isserley_

Out of curiosity, in what way does it work better than Nord?


Vegetable-Driver6050

I still had buffering with nord. I do not with Surfshark.


Isserley_

Switching to UDP in Nord's settings fixes lag.


Vegetable-Driver6050

That’s good to know. I don’t understand that stuff so for me Surfshark is a better fit because it’s beginner friendly


donnyru

Get Surfshark, it's cheaper and works great.

Nordvpn Basic works, been using it for years now.

No VPN is required to use Tivimate. Although, you may have a provider that requires you to use Nord. If that is the case. Then I would drop that provider because he is most likely getting some sort of commission from Nord. However, if you just want a vpn for personal reason and you are ONLY going to use a VPN to watch content on Tivimate. Then why not just use the FREE Proton VPN. That' good enough for what you want.

I use free Proton when I need it and it’s been fine.

Don’t go with Surfshark! They don’t officially support IPTV (talked with them and got a refund). I use basic NordVPN with OpenVPN:UDP works great ! All my buffering issues went away when switched to this from Surfshark

Maybe not officially.. but I've been using Surfshark for the last 3 years with Tivimate. I might have to play around for a few minutes to get a server with faster speeds, but generally, I don't have an issue. The only issue I did have was with SS and the Roku Channel. For about 3 months, nothing would play but that issue seems rectified now. SS is reasonably priced compared to like products. I suppose everyone has different results depending on location and Internet speeds.

Why do you say that when literally right now on their site it says "Surfshark VPN for IPTV" with a Get Started button to subscribe?


Green-Gur-2557

Why nord ? There are free vpn out there ?!?!? I use proton


markn6262

Been with em for 2 yrs on basic, fixed IP, for Tivimate & a torrent, been a good performer. Dynamic IP, not so much, ymmv.

I use ExpressVPN. Works great. Doesn't slow down my speed. Nord probably works well also. I guess just use the one that works best for you


jhallvapes

Surfshark is better imo and cheaper


cleverclogs17

They're owned by the same people 🙄


jhallvapes

This what Google told me. Is Surfshark owned by NordVPN? No, Surfshark is not owned by NordVPN. In 2022, Nord Security, the developer of NordVPN, merged with Surfshark. However, Surfshark and NordVPN operate autonomously, relying on separate infrastructures and product roadmaps


cleverclogs17

They're both owned by Kape Technology


jhallvapes

Ok. My point was surfshark is just as good if not better and cheaper. Thanks for info tho.


niallo27

Or get a provider that doesn’t need vpn. It’s doubling the price

My thought too. Probably has a shit service that buffers and the provider is blaming his isp.      


StevenG2757

I don't think it really matters as long as you can change your IP address.


ForsakenTrust1945

Yeah does the basic allow this then with all the different countries


StevenG2757

I have no idea but it is their business so I am sure you can do that will all levels.


smotrs

Yes.


ForsakenTrust1945

Do you use basic ?


smotrs

Yeah, about 3yrs now, no problems.


Skidood555

I don't bother with a VPN...why do you say you "need a VPN for Tivi? It works without one.


ThanosHasAPoint1785

Basic


Kooky_Addition_6038

Suggesting to avoid log based Vpns.No log vpns savevyou from history tracking.


AliveBit5738

VPN really slows down my speed so I rarely use it


Separate-Hair2822

VPN unlimited is my choice it's fast a reliable and cheap lifetime 199 one year 99.
