So I want to add IPTV to my entertainment menu. (If you have good provider or app recommendations, DM me). But I want to run it through VPN.
What I’m thinking of doing is getting an inexpensive, second android box to use to watch IPTV. Then set up a VPN tunnel on my router and send all traffic from that device through the VPN.
That ensures I won’t disrupt any existing streaming services with VPN, and I won’t have to remember to fire up the VPN before watching IPTV (more importantly, I’m sure my kid won’t remember). Thoughts?

I came up with a very convenient way to stream IPTV in my home. If you have a home server with docker, Dispatcharr alongside Gluetun is the way to go.
Dispatcharr allows you to proxy all your IPTV channels to a local URL, and if you attach its network to Gluetun, Dispatcharr will fetch the IPTV content through the VPN server of your choice, and return it to your local network via HTTP (giving you a local only M3U list). This M3U could be used anywhere in your home, and you don’t even have to bother about VPNs per device.
