ProtonVPN free fine for live IPTV?

VPN
1

I’m using 2 IPTV subscriptions. One cheaper with lesser content runs okayish on my 60mbps internet + MI Box 2… The other with huge live & VOD content (famous brand) buffers a lot on all channels during daytime and evenings but runs mostly smooth at night… Provider said use VPN… Reddits got me introduced to ProtonVPN Free version… Now both services running smooth 24/7 for over a week… Even during sporting events…
I want clarity on two points

  1. I need ProtonVPN only for live TV channels on my two services so will this Free VPN version suffice and run smooth in the long run?
  2. Everyone over here suggests paid ProtonVPN is far better and smoother, so should I really get it in order to smooth out even the odd second of buffer on few channels while switching?
    (Again I need VPN only for my MI BOX and only for live TV streaming)
    Thanks in advance to anybody who’d clarify these points in simple words …

Yes go paid version I promise you will not regret it and it’s extremely affordable.

Hi! Streaming support isn’t guaranteed on our free VPN servers. That said, we do support streaming on our Plus servers, and we have official support for the streaming services listed here: https://protonvpn.com/support/streaming-guide/

It’s likely possible that you’ll be able to stream some things on the free VPN servers as well, but we can’t help in case the streaming service detects your use of a VPN.
