Look on r/iptvreviews. They’ll offer some guidance and hopefully point you in the direction you’re looking to go. Most services people have reviewed offer a trial of some sort.

You have a few options, the vpn, is a good idea to have and depending where you are and who your Internet provider is, and what event is on, as to if you need to use it, What app are you using atm to watch your IPTV on? there is smarters? stb emu? and others, the service that i sell, also have there own specifix app that could be installed on your firestick, another option you have is to buy an enthernet adapter for your firestick to give you that connection on your firestick, i have done that on mine to be honest with you

i would definitely retire the firestick and get a 4k one when they go on sale for $25. i have friends who want me to mod their old 2k sticks and i refuse to bother, they are way too slow and low on spare ram for apk configuration work.

next i would get a PAID vpn, they are hella cheap now /r/vpncoupons then study the apps here; /r/ApksApps/ and checkout techdoctoruk.com and troypoint.com

do NOT pay for any iptv sub until after you determine the many freebies you will learn about are insufficient for your needs. paid iptv can offer some quality & quantity advantage, but it's mostly about single app convenience and a short learning curve to get working.

ignore this post getting downvoted as this sub is influenced by regulars over on /r/iptvresellers who hate anyone posting info that detracts from their business. i love those guys and learn a lot from them, but please... don't bullshit a bullshitter.

The best way to try by your self especially the one that offers trial period to test the service before committing to a service..
