Hey folks,
It’s actually quite a simple one.. but difficult to explain.
I’m on a Synology which is using a VPN for all traffic.
I have to create static routes for specific apps to direct out the WAN GW and not the VPN, plex being one.
This way when traffic goes out it uses my LAN GW and not the VPN.
Plex is easy enough for remote access, nslookup plex.tv gives me 3 IP addresses to pop in the static route.
Channels is more difficult to resolve. I’m presuming you’re doing a similar thing to plex?
Channels talks out.. realises the IP is the VPN one and tries to come back on that.. which would fail.
I need to push all traffic to channels servers via the LAN GW not the VPN.
What are the IP addresses/ranges that channels dvr uses to connect to?
I can then put those as ranges in my static routes table and forward all traffic direct bypassing the VPN.
Then channels should see the true IP of my network and it should be happy.
Hope that makes sense?
Cheers. T.
