Buffering may occur at higher resolutions. This happens because traffic comes from a Twitch server closest to the initial m3u8 proxy request. The only solution to this is asking the proxy maintainer to add a proxy in a country closer to you. If they wont then you'll need to use a lower resolution, or use a different ad blocking solution. A VPN might also be better solution for you. Buffering may occur at higher resolutions. This happens because traffic comes from a Twitch server closest to the initial m3u8 proxy request.
