ISPs don’t usually care about iptv streaming, it’s uploading that gets you in trouble. Unfortunately I don’t have much advice for providers as most are garbage unfortunately.

Why do you want to run IPTV through vpn? What country are you in?

The offsite NAS at the family’s house - how did you configure offsite access? Did you have to upgrade their router?

And you must enter password through a 2 character wide menu screen with only up and down arrows

I’d first change DNS servers to quad9 or something other than the default

Then I’d try accessing behind a VPN a couple times and a couple times without VPN to ensure it’s repeatable

If they are blocking it, very odd and annoying

And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol

It’s a joke on how off putting the computer nerds can be here to normies.

If it’s a mesh system yes running wires would be a nice upgrade

Wired backhaul?

RIP what a hero. Anyone know of a replacement? Will these eventually stop working?

What do you want to do? You could try to Ppick a problem and then find a service to solve it. Maybe a pi hole ad blocker, or homeassistant for home automation. Both of these run well on a pi. Then follow the guide to deploy those services.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.

Only when the artifacts in 4k look bad - like black squares on a black background due to compression. 1080p in that case is preferable.

You already have a pihole. I assume you like it. You could buy a cheap minipc/NUC and set up proxmox on it and learn to set up and configure a second pihole as a virtual machine. Then you’ll have a server running with the ability to expand as needed. You could look into setting up new network gear (like tp-link’s omada) and run the software controller in a VM. Or you could dabble with HomeAssistant and get into smarthome. Or set up a photo management tool like Immich. Like others have said, find a problem you want to solve and use these tools!

Are you willing to pay for services or do you want to stay with free stuff like you currently use?

DMd you

Do you mean home ISP or mobile provider? What country? Who is the provider? In the US, some ISPs (especially those with monopoly) charge after ~1-1.5TB/month which is complete bullshit (fuck you comcast who was hated so much by consumers they rebranded to xfinity)

Overall the ipad is pretty limited but I’ve found this method useful for videos specifically. Basically you use a debrid service as a torrent downloader, and then you download the file directly from them and save it on your ipad.

You need a real-debrid account or similar. Most people on piracy forums freak out that any part of piracy cost money. I thought the same when i was a broke teen. But if you have the dough, it’s ~3€ a month to make it way easier.

With real debrid you copy magnet links from torrent sites and download them through real debrid. For some stupid reason you can’t copy the magnet link from your favorite torrent websites on Safari in iOS. There used to be a “Shortcuts” script that worked but not last time I checked, so i end up having to do this from my computer or ask a buddy who’s on a computer. Once you get the magnet link to a torrent, you go to the torrent tab in real-debrid and paste the link/upload the torrent file. Most of the time the file is already cached by RD and become available immediately. Then you can download and play with VLC. If filed are zipped, use an unzipper there are a few. Good way to load up on movies/shows before flights, and VLC handles subtitles.
