Can I use a VPN on this service?

[justlearning]

I recently purchased a VPN service and was planing on renewing my recently expired IPTV service. Will they both work together?

Thanks

No they won't for most people.

From the payment portal:



If our system detect that you are using your donation through a VPN, Proxy, Datacenter or in more than 1 device at the same time it will be automatically banned. When using MAC Address authentication is highly recommended to protect your donation by activating the Country or Internet Provider lock to prevent that someone else spoof your MAC to get unauthorized access using your account.


Generally with Rocket, a VPN is overkill, as the ISP still can see that you are using a streaming service, and could if they want, block you from the end service. If you were one of a few customers doing this, it's pretty easy for them to cut you off. However so many people stream now, they can't keep up with everyone. It's usually when you are geo-blocked by the ISP or end server, it would make sense to use a VPN or Proxy, but Rocket wants to know who is connecting to them is a valid customer... that's why they have that policy.

He's talking about an ISP blocking you in that post.

Well, partially. A site like CBC geoblocks ips from the US so that's when you get blocked by them. Our supported servers don't geoblock, but they black list suspect ips.

Yes, I was looking at just his quoted portion of your message, and there it appeared as if you were only talking about an ISP, yet he was extending beyond that. (His quote didn't pick up the Rocket site warning.)
