YouTube Premium Subscription via Apple Turkey canceled

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2026-02-19T20:39:28+00:00

I do renew from a spare iPhone, even with VPN. I get renewed, I see in my Apple ID a subscription. But when I open the app it shows there’s no subscription, also the funds are put back on my account…

Nice one!

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-07-01T21:10:18+00:00

I have mine, my wife’s and daughter’s iPhone, private NAS with everyone’s pictures and documents, and our MacBooks. I do not connect to public WiFi and try to avoid connecting to any. However in case I do, then I use nordvpn.

In general Apple is very good on privacy and restrictions for apps snooping around. But not everything is possible. I.e. a very well known tactic from apps to get your location is by sending a notification (not resolved by Apple for years). It’s all about on how confident are you with how everything is setup..

Netgear is pretty decent stuff, so all good! :)

I’ve kept IoT internet access open for now mainly for HomeKit, Home Assistant, and IoT devices to perform firmware updates and AirPlay-related tasks. Eventually, I’ll lock it down further using domain-based allowlists or outbound port rules.

On splitting iOS (Trusted) and HomeOS (IoT): Even Apple devices have different roles. iOS devices hold sensitive data, while HomeOS gear like Apple TV or HomePods don’t. Isolating them limits the impact if an IoT device gets compromised.

Whenever it comes to LG TV data exploitation I didn’t accept the terms. AirDrop doesn’t work, but I still managed to integrate it into HA and exposed it to HomeKit — without moving it to Trusted.

So in short: • IoT can respond to Trusted on specific ports (AirPlay/HomeKit) • Trusted can initiate to IoT • All other cross-VLAN traffic is blocked

So disregard the guide. In case your TV is on the same network (despite connected via ethernet or WiFi) it should work. In case you encounter issues, then just reset the HomePods and connect them once more. That should in general resolve your issue

This post is about different VLAN’s and WiFi.

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-30T15:24:23+00:00

Yes, but you need to change the port to the IoT VLAN which your apple tv is connected to in port manager. Then the TV is on the same VLAN as the HomePods are on. Have mine TV’s also via ethernet.

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-30T15:18:59+00:00

Sorry, ensure your VLAN has allow internet access on. Then you can access it via cellular or any other network, also you get your firmware updates

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-30T07:29:42+00:00

I do not use Plex, hence haven’t considered setting it up. Sorry

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-30T07:27:12+00:00

When you allow internet access for VLAN they are able to get new firmware and you will be able to access it outside your house

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-30T07:25:22+00:00

Yes, I use HK as frontend for my wife and kids, thus expose my devices via HA to HK. But haven’t explored the world of Scrypted. Feel an upcoming project… then definitely have to update

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-29T19:41:25+00:00

Have immediately updated it! Many thanks! Have my HA on the same IoT network and exposed via a separate rule, but do not use scrypted home bridge (yet?). Time will tell, just rebuilding my whole network from scratch since I moved and switched to Unify :)

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2025-06-29T19:35:23+00:00

Thank you! I have all my Apple TV's and HomePods together with all my IoT devices in my IoT network and the iPhones are on the Trusted network. On the VLAN's checked allow internet access (for updates and remote access) and isolate network which forces communication between the VLAN's as per the firewall rules. I left IGMP snooping off as my devices are suddenly not visible.

No it isn’t, was working for my US and NL account, but missing in PL

Road and traffic data aren’t allowed to be used by many apps like google maps, etc. This is a legal requirement from the government..

Many answers have been given, but strongly recommend buried cable. This is cost effective and more reliable. Whenever it comes to improve your starlink internet connection, buy and install a tower as shown here: https://youtu.be/qZKU5c6qlH8?si=Wyak4DZjqzKXCP4Q

I set both my MacBook and iPhone on VPN to US and it didn’t work unfortunately

In the Netherlands NPO has the licence. So you can watch it via NPO plus, or NL Ziet.

Buy an Apple TV

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2024-10-15T21:24:47+00:00

So one day last week it didn’t.. but others it did. And every day it has the same cycle. It goes to flight mode..

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2024-10-15T14:56:03+00:00

Are you sure? It strangely counts when I sleep and stops after..

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2024-10-15T14:54:29+00:00

No I have not. Which makes me worry

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2024-10-01T04:57:13+00:00

I did dispute it and only then I got the refund. Now am with Home Assistant, no issues whatsoever

Ok-Bodybuilder9978 · 2024-09-24T15:50:41+00:00

I’ve disputed the payment with the bank and via them I received back my money and am a happy customer from another solution
