Virtual Private Network VPN
June 20, 2021. Breaking news about the VPN requirement, see below
About 21 USTVGO channels require VPN running in order to display the channel properly.
USTVGO changes the VPN rules often, the ones marked with the red VPN as of
April 2022 will only display using the PAY VPN service they promote (NordVPN)
By using VPN, your computer is securely protected because the software sets up an encrypted connection through a third party.
Your IP address is hidden because the VPN assigns its own address.
Disadvantages are that VPN will slow down a connection.
Some VPN programs have a monthly fee. Some have a free and a pay version.
Some of the free versions have slower connections compared to the pay version and have data limits. However, while a 500 MB per month data limit might not be a problem for regular browsing and dealing with files,
even that amount can be eatened up by watching a Live Video Stream.
VPN is obtained by having VPN software the can be started if needed, or stopped if not needed.
A free VPN program called ProtonVPN has unlimited data. You download and install their software. You might get the "Plus" version
which has a 1 month free trial period. After that time, it automatically reverts back to the free version, so you are never charged and don't have to give any payment information.

(Actually, streaming video has no real need for VPN, but the provider of the free cable channels is selling its own VPN software, NORDvpn, which has fees.)
