Due to the complexity of IPTV, it is quite difficult to determine whether they are legal or not. But in case the IPTVs are considered to be illegal, and this is why you need to use a VPN when streaming the IPTV. VPN helps you remain anonymous by hiding your IP address from ISPs, hackers, and others, and it also protects your data and privacy. You can also use Premium VPNs such as ExpressVPN to unblock geo-restrictions and stream IPTV in countries where it is blocked.

Review
Using IPTV to stream live TV channels, movies, TV shows, and more are cheaper when compared with using cable and satellite networks to stream the same content. Another advantage of IPTV is that as long as you have an internet connection, you can stream the content anywhere, but this is not possible with traditional networks. Although some countries consider IPTV illegal and ban the usage of IPTV, you can use VPN to stream IPTV in these countries.
