Hi dan,
Found this...

"I don't think it's possible through the mag box".

"Best bet is to buy a router that's capable of running a VPN,
then you can set it up to allow some things through the VPN and others not."

You can not set up a vpn on the mag boxes, nor should you need to. They are designed to access specific bespoke services that support that specific hardware and thus do not need VPNs. They can not be used to access say BBC iPlayer, which would require a VPN if used outside the UK. The question really does not make sense to me ? What exactly are you trying to do with your mag box dan, that you think you need a vpn on it ? Pm me if you like.

My iptv supplier in Uk advised me that some isp’s in UK blocked Sky Sports at the weekend but those with vpn were OK. I will be returning to UK soon and I wanted to be prepared for potential blockings.

Well use another iptv supplier. I use a MAG 254 box here and a iptv based in Spain. I dont need a VPN and I get every channel UK there is (Including SKY)

Erol was right there is no option in the settings on a MAG box to set up a VPN.

Lodger.

NK radio Manufacturers are allowed only to produce Gv't approved fixed channel radios and any citizen discovered to be listening to foreign broadcasts is likely to face jail, their TV must be a real bundle of fun!.
