Vodafone Portugal injects HTTP 302 redirects on blacklisted sports IPTV domains. Bypass this by enabling DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) inside TiviMate or setting device DNS to AdGuard (94.140.14.14) to encrypt DNS queries against ISP inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HTTP 302 redirect in IPTV?
It means the ISP intercepted your server request and instructed your player to redirect to an ISP warning landing page.
Does DoH slow down streaming?
No, DoH only encrypts initial domain lookups (which take 15ms); actual video data streams at full line speed.
