Hey everyone, just wanted to share something I’ve been dealing with lately in one of my IPTV panel scripts.

I had a tool pulling metadata from third-party sources. Everything was working fine during testing, but once I pushed it live, I started getting random blocks — some requests worked, some got 403 errors. After some debugging, I realized it wasn’t a code issue. It was the IPs I was using.

For a while, I was relying on cheap shared datacenter proxies. But turns out, some of these IPs had poor reputation or were already flagged, especially when making repetitive requests.

I switched to a provider that offers more stable and less-flagged IPs — I won't name-drop here, but if you search around for residential IPs with location targeting, you’ll find a few options. The one I ended up using has been quietly effective and offers good control via dashboard/API. Here’s their link if you’re curious: this is the one.

I’m not affiliated, just sharing because I know others might be facing similar issues in IPTV tools, scripts, or crawlers.

Would be interested to hear what others are using to keep their tools running smoothly without random request blocks.
