Hi there, I think that's saying a lot. I tried making a proxy for iPTV on my computer and ran into some trouble. I looked around the web but couldn't figure out how to do it. Any tips or help would mean a lot to me. Best regards

It all depends on what goals you're trying to reach and just what exactly you mean by a proxy. IPTV is basically a big catch-all term for lots of different things. From what I've seen, proxies are mostly used to let smart TVs watch content that doesn't have a native way to see it. It seems like this stuff happens right inside your house rather than on some VPS in the cloud. If you want to bypass where you can watch via a VPN, running a VPS is usually easier than using a proprietary proxy. A VPS costs money to stream video through. You can easily get one that already has a preconfigured VPN or load up one of the many Linux-based VPNs if you wanted to set it yourself. The real problem is cost for the bandwidth. The CPU usage is almost nothing, so that part is cheap, but most services have limits on how much bandwidth they'll give you or they charge something per gigabyte.

Hey there! Thanks for your message. Panel runs on a dedicated server, and Channels go out via balancers. I need to put the balancers through a proxy so that when clients connect, they see the fake IP instead of the real one. I tried making a proxy with squid but it didn't work. About bandwidth? No worries at all. I have a place where I can give unlimited bandwidth. Thanks!

It's not really my job to do that kind of thing. Balancers do something similar by covering up where the servers actually sit. Since I don't know how streaming services like IPTV work, I'm just saying what comes to mind without knowing for sure.
