Can be very useful for travel or family sharing, watching blackout games, or whatever. Sucked when I was out of country and YTTV didn’t work.
The TP Link Decos LIST make great little clients for PPTP or WireGuard if you want a permanent tunnel just for TVs.
Anyone use these as servers? I can run one WireGuard client no problem but I’m not sure they’re up for handling more. Anyone have a cheap and capable server recommendation whether it be software or hardware? Software would likely be Linux but need to include scripting to reboot and come back online.

I definitely don’t have a streaming TV service at my house, a different one at my father in law’s house and camp, and VPN client/servers with routing rules to direct specific traffic over each specific service and location.

That would violate terms of service.

I have a GL iNet Beryl AX that I use as my portable router away from home. I have an OpenVPN cert loaded to it, so I can access my home net from anywhere I have cell service or another local internet.

I use a GLinet router that has a VPN on it 24/7 for IPTV. When needing to login to my server from outside the house, I use Tailscale.
