A VPN can help with buffering on IPTV and other streaming technologies in two ways. Firstly, if the source is located in one region and you’re in another faraway location, the connection might be unstable. Choosing a VPN server in the same region, can stabilize the connection and reduce buffering. Secondly, a VPN can also help if your ISP is throttling streaming speeds. This is because when the VPN is on, the ISP can no longer recognize the source of the traffic.
