Question iptv service getting blocked

[Monolit2k]

Hi, are there some solusions to prevent ISP blocking iptv service? i have like 30 ips and i change them every 12/24hrs but still some of clients on smarttv are getting blocked i tried to proxy also server but also it works for 10 days and again ip is getting blocked any ideas how to reduce block amount?

Just make a script to change ip when it gets blocked, like a raspberry pinging the server and then when it cant ping it changes the ip of the LB in the DB, very easy to do it.

are you sure IP is blocked and not port? i had issue with local isp blocking streaming port. every hour we rotate port number.

It’s a tough problem—ISPs monitor for IPTV traffic patterns and will block or throttle connections once they detect it. Swapping out IPs every day might delay things, but as you’ve seen, it doesn’t solve the issue long-term.

the easiest way .... have the customers use vpn instead. me as provider had the same issue with AT&T, they would block my servers within 1 to 3 days of streaming. what i did, is i sold the streaming devices to customers already set with VPN.. only to users having this ISP provider. and of course gave them warranty.. if they get blocked within a week (usually happens sooner) I will stop by, pickup my device, and refund 100% their money. before using this VPN.. I had to refund 2 or 3 customers.. then I started using the VPN..after almost 4 months of continuing selling, I have not refunded anyone so far. streaming is been good. the VPN solved my and customers issues.

please test and have the customers use vpn.

Oh by the way .. I provide free VPN to my customers who need, which again are only at&t users. All other users with other ISP's have no issues. of course i myself pay yearly for the VPN, but I keep my customers happy. watching tv! at the end there's still profit.

I also give PIA VPN to the customers but some of them cant use pia vpn because of smart tv. I was thinking about CDN service but its too expensive, i readed that u can use a server located in ex. Russia and there is harder to Block also using ssl certificate So Isp can't see what u doing on this ip/domain

that may work . though its work for you bro . plus extra work and $$.

and true!! some smart tvs and roku devices cant use vpn... well, roku you can configure the router directly but extra work also.... for these customers i explain and tell them . life is better when we not complicate things on ourselves lol . so I offer them my streaming devices.. always mentioning how much they can save using my iptv service even though they have to pay the device is still only one time pay for device but the monthly bill will not be more than 20 bucks ... most go with it.

P2P is the only permanently solution for isp blocks

 

[stefki]

I think adding SSL on that HTTPS stream port will hide the patterns .

 

[shitping]

From proxy to the main, and from the main to the load balancers (Port 7999,8080 VPN Wireguard), you can run WireGuard. All load balancers operate over HTTPS on port 443, so the only real issue would be if their database has been compromised and either administrators or resellers have invited infiltrators in.

 

[stefki]

No need for WireGuard or any VPN protocol. Just install an SSL certificate on your HTTP streaming port and configure an Nginx rewrite rule to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS. All traffic will be encrypted with SSL. So the ISP cannot sniff the patterns in the traffic anymore.

any example of how you added your rule in nginx.
It has worked for you without any problems ?

time ago.. I thought adding SSL on my main and load balancers, would fox the issue, but it didn't... I guess depending where you got your servers from also matters. or as shitping said** data or servers have been compromised.

The solution is to ping servers from afected isp and change ip as soon it gets blocked, very easy to do.

 

[herny8]

sounds like being tide to monitor waiting for it to happen to do the change... good solution but requires too much attention from the provider.

I insist.... have the customers use vpn instead..

yet . i don't want to initiate arguments.

every head thinks different and depending on provider time to manage his service is the way he needs to go . at the end my ways may not be the best for him either

yes of course vpn in clients is the solution, but for tvs and mags you need to change ip as soon as it get blocked if you want a continues service.
