Is a VPN really necessary? All it does is cause my service to buffer like crazy. Once I turn off the VPN guess what, no buffering

Am I going to get busted by the FBI because I’m not hiding my IP. Am I going to get a letter in the mail saying I’m being sued for stealing copyright material ?

Not used a vpn since day 1 on t'internet, apart from to access a blocked t0rr3nt site. Been using iptv for I dunno how many years and never thought twice about it. Always advise others to use but jusy don't use myself. Don't really care if or what ever happens to me. I've led a good life 👍

If you aren’t a reseller you are probably ok, worse case scenario you may get a hefty fine. If it’s buffering that much could you even handle continuing to use it? I also think there are many other providers that will work fine if you have good speeds and using a VPN. Post a question about some trials and use NORDVPN and when you have some trials, Nord will assist you with speed issues for they have a ton options for server types and maybe be able to provide you with better options, if not the whole thing would cost you 50$ max to try a bunch of provides and get NORD for a month. Just what I did in the past somewhat.

Easy solution.

I use a VPN for two reasons, my ISP speed throttles and my speed is bad enough as it is. Also, none of there damn business what I do!

Probably not but it’s up to you how much risk you’re willing to take.

the reason they want you to use a vpn is because it also hides THEIR routes from your ISP.
