Long Shot - Issues with Unraid Docker Container, VPN, and HDHomeRun TV Tuner

Hello,
I'm hoping somebody can help me with an Unraid/Channels DVR setup. I have Channels DVR hosted in an Unraid container. One of my sources is a HDHomerun tv tuner. Unraid and HDHomerun use 192.168.1.xxx IP addresses. If I turn on a VPN on the Unraid server, Channels DVR can no longer find the HDHomerun tuner. I can still access the Channels DVR web UI fine on 192.168.1.xxx.
If I turn off the VPN, the tuner is immediately found again.
Any ideas?
Thank You!

Sounds like your OS is taking control of your system's routing tables, but not doing so with VPNs. You either need to use a more network-aware OS, or handle network edge cases on your own.

Or local network discovery is not working when the vpn is engaged. This is common with some vpns. You can reach devices via ip but they cant be discovered. If you add the hdhr via ip it will probably work. I guess the bigger question is why run a vpn on your unraid host?

Thanks all, I will keep trying things.
