What is IPTV?

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol television, but it means any television that is delivered via an internet connection, instead of by traditional means (via antenna, cable, or satellite).

Internet-only “cord-cutting” services like Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, or fuboTV are among the most popular forms of IPTV, offering live streaming of popular broadcast and pay-TV channels, including local network affiliates. But there are countless smaller providers as well.

These days, most major cable and satellite providers, such as AT&T TV, also include IPTV services as part of a standard subscription, so you can stream channels live even when you’re away from home.

* ExpressVPN is optimized to work with IPTV so you can enjoy online privacy and security all the time, without the VPN interfering. It should not be used as a means of copyright circumvention. We cannot see or control what you do while connected to our service, so you are responsible for complying with our Terms of Service, your content provider’s terms, and any applicable laws.

Do I need a VPN with IPTV?

ExpressVPN lets you watch IPTV securely and privately, which means your network operator cannot reduce your connection speeds based on content (a practice known as throttling). All of your internet traffic, including your IPTV streams, passes through an encrypted VPN tunnel, and no one—not even ExpressVPN—can see into that tunnel. That means no one can see which websites you’re visiting or which services you’re using.

If you’re traveling and your IPTV service isn’t available in the country you’re visiting, selecting a VPN server location where your IPTV service is offered can also allow you to access your IPTV streams as if you were comfortably back in your living room.

FAQ: Watching IPTV with a VPN

Is IPTV legal?

There’s nothing inherently legal or illegal about IPTV. Some of the biggest names in streaming are IPTV services. But smaller providers may not have paid the proper licensing fees to distribute content in all markets. If it offers 1,000 channels for 5 USD a month, it’s probably not legal. (As always, you are responsible for verifying that your use of ExpressVPN complies with any applicable laws, as required by our Terms of Service.)
