This video has been restricted...

I've been using an IPTV service for five months, and the settings have remained the same since day one. When I turned on the TV today, I received this message:

"This video has been restricted. Streaming video from Cloudflare's basic service is a violation of the Terms of Service..."

Does anyone know why?

Are all channels affected?

Have you tried using a VPN?

I’m experiencing the same issue, but it works on mobile internet. Can you try accessing it via mobile internet?

I tested it on mobile, and yes, it works!

Contact your provider; it's time to get a new playlist. If you want, you can try changing the DNS first.

Which app are you using?

Since it works on mobile, I think a VPN might be the solution. I had the same issue Tivimate worked, but Smarters didn’t. If you want, you could also try switching apps.

I think there are multiple solutions. I haven’t tried changing the DNS, and I don’t want to try different apps. I’ve gotten used to this one. I’ll probably use a VPN.

Forget the VPN, call your provider and ask for a new playlist. It’s the same as changing DNS.

The service came back five minutes ago (with home internet), and I didn’t make any changes. Do you think I should still request a new m3u?

There’s no harm in requesting a new m3u from your provider. If you run into issues again, you’ll have an alternative ready without having to wait. They will send you different versions of your playlist anyway.

Okay. But if I request a new playlist link, will my current one be canceled?

Request an alternative link. If you request from another server, they might cancel your current connection. However, if you request an alternative, they will send a playlist from the same server with a different DNS. Your username and password will remain the same.
