Want to switch to a Mag or Dreamlink t1 but my biggest question is…

by Kuroth1

I have IPVanish as my VPN and have really been happy with it..

I currently have a Mi box and couple fire sticks and had no issues installing and running the IPVanish client for these boxes. I use these boxes for non IPTV Kodi Apps and it works great!!!

But want to get a dedicated box just for IPTV..

The Mag being Linux I am not even sure if IPVanish has a compatible client.

The Dreamlink T1, since it’s Android based, the Android IPVanish client should work. But since you cant side load to the Dreamlink, I am not sure how I would get it on there to install it.

I saw one post where they said if there is an App you want on your Dreamlink, just ask the Dreamlink Dev’s and they will get it out there on the Dreamlink market you have access to..

I think I would really like a Mag if I knew I could get a VPM going on it.. But leaning now to the Dreamlinkl T1 to be my IPTV box.

Anyone have experience with any of this? What VPN to you guys run on your Mag?

I don't know how open is the operative system used by the Mag. I know a Mag uses Linux but maybe it's way too locked and almost impossible to install stuff on it.

If you have a mag the only reason to get connected via an con might be using your router as VPN client. But that's not an easy task depending on which router model you have and your internet speed will decrease in a huge way (unless you have a super powerful router priced around more than $150)

I don't have an answer regarding a vpn because I haven't actually seen anyone use one for iptv. Usually vpn reduces throughput significantly so there is no benefit to doing this. But, I will say dreamlink is good at adding apps to their marketplace. Unfortunately the mag you're probably out of luck.

You could also consider the avov tvonline4 who uses another marketplace as well. I find their marketplace larger, but i haven't checked in a few months so your results may vary
