I just have it accessible through my domain. IPTV is interesting but I have no idea how it works.

I just dislike having public things. With WireGuard and then tailscale, VPNs got so hasselfree that I've removed most things from the open net. Reduces setup time and management a lot.

IPTV is basically paid piracy. Someone else has grabbed most commercial channels from somewhere and sell it to other people. Usually they have a collection of movies/shows you can stream as well. But I only use it for sports really.

So they basically stream what is being broadcast on these channels to you? What does it cost? I have friends who watch sports too, if it's cheaper it might be worth it if I set it up for them on my server.

Basically, yes. It costs me about $140 a year.
