Lets get you setup

with IPTV!

Thank you for your interest in our great IPTV service.

First of all you will need to setup a VPN.

Just head to the play store, search, or however you normally download apps on your device. Type in VPN, or which ever one you wish to use, and download and install it. If you don't know which VPN you would like to use we would recommend SurfShark.  Once logged in connect to the Netherlands, or any DMCA ignored country, whichever works for you, and the VPN will just run in the background, no need to ever turn this off.  Now your ready to use the John Doe Streams service uninterrupted by internet service provider blocks. 

We also recommend using Dot Monitor app to know that the VPN is actually working.
Note just because it says connected does not mean it's working. 
You can download this by entering 912985 in the URL of the Downloader app. 
For more info head to their website.

We offer a web player, that works best with Microsoft Edge web browser. This is great for iOS
and VR headsets, as we have VR content.

Please note web browsers are limited to the codecs they have built in for what video formats they can play. This is not something that can be fixed, so expect some content not to play. We would recommend the Oculus Browser for Oculus headsets.

We recommend using
Microsoft Edge web browser, as it has the most video codecs to play the content.
