The "VPN Sales Pitch"

You've probably seen YouTubers saying "YOU MUST USE A VPN!!"

Truth: They get paid to say that.

When You DO Need a VPN

Live Sports Blocks: During Premier League 3PM games, ISPs like Virgin Media sometimes block IP addresses. A VPN bypasses this.

Privacy: If you don't want your ISP knowing you watch IPTV.

Geo-Blocking: If you want to watch US-only content (like HBase Max) not on IPTV.

General Viewing: For 95% of watching (Movies, News, Soaps), Irish ISPs do not throttle.

Slow Internet: Adding a VPN adds encryption overhead, which might actually slow down your connection if you have poor broadband.

Emerald IPTV works without a VPN. We recommend trying without one first. Save your money. If you hit a block, then get one.
