How do I watch a live stream on my iPad?

I enjoy watching P2P live streams (Flash) on my iMac and I would like to be able to do the same thing on my iPad. I have tried [Puffin Web Browser](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?l=en&mt=8) , but the streams that I would like to see are covered in pop-ups with hinky links. On the iMac these will disappear when I go full screen, but within Puffin I can't click that full screen button. However, I also have [VLC for iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vlc-for-ios/id650377962?l=en&mt=8) installed. Is is perhaps possible to watch a P2P live stream via VLC? (I tried Open Network Stream and paste urls there, but that didn't quite work. Perhaps don't know how to pick the right url?) Can you recommend a set-up?
