IPTV stopped working after router reset

by dvBeko

I was having some issues with my internet the other day which led me to resetting my Asus Ac86u router. Since then I haven't been able to access my IPTV. It works fine if I use a VPN, but I was wondering if resetting the router might've changed something? I don't really think I changed any particular setting to allow it the first time around..

I'd be surprised if the reset coincided with my ISP blocking them (although maybe that's why I was having internet issues??). And also would find that very surprising given that I'm in Sweden and they generally don't block this stuff.

Like I said, VPN works fine but it's not ideal, would appreciate any help! Thanks!

I wonder if rebooting your router would give you a different IP from your ISP and the IPTV provider would see that as you sharing your account as it's seeing multiple IP addresses: old, new, VPN.

I’d start with unplugging it again and just wait like 5 to 10 min to plug it back it in. See it that changes or fixes it .

Your VPN is hijacking your DNS. Also if you use a the Kill Switch, you will almost probably will have to setup your internet connection again.
