Best Location for VPN-Server. Close to me or close to IPTV Server?

by YankeeLimaVictor

Hi guys. I have used wireshark to inspect my network traffic and I have noticed that my IPTV provider hosts all my channels in a datacenter in Miami. I have ExpressVPN. My question is: to reduce lag/buffer as much as possible, would it be better to connect to an ExpressVPN server closest to me, or one in Miami?

I recently got an IPTV subscription and many channels did not work watching from EU (provider is in NA). I connected to a US node (using Nord) and now it works like a charm.
