Hi,
Supplier no longer allows connecting to the service using a VPN, what are the risks of using without VPN?

I am assuming if you use a VPN your supplier may not be able to identify you as a paid up member.Even if the ISP don't block streams or if your provider doesn't need a VPN, I don't see the harm in having one. They are cheap and offer a layer of security.

Broadband suppliers are monitoring it is just the servers are getting around it.A lot of suppliers don't allow you to use a vpn and never had any problems not using one. I don't think broadband suppliers monitoring anything anyway.
I suppose you are correct with that chain of thought if the two sides are protected with a vpn it would be very difficult to block any streams.the work around last year was for providers to add a vpn sevrerside, isp's see these new algorithms as a step towards putting a stop to that method, this is the reason many are saying that in time the way forward will be for clients to use their own vpn. Nothing is set in concrete as no one is 100% & may simply be speculation althought it does make sense
