Connect to the VPN

Connect to any preferred location using the Surfshark app that will most likely work with your IPTV provider. This can also help you overcome ISP throttling. Since a VPN hides your IP and encrypts your traffic, your ISP can't see what you are doing and, as a result, cannot throttle your connection based on your activity.

Accessing IPTV

Ensure that your VPN connection is on. See how to make sure if Surfshark VPN is working.
Try accessing IPTV.
