Tuner Unreachable after connecting to VPN

Setup: Apple TV connected to Win 10 PC via Ethernet. Win 10 PC hosting Nord VPN and Channels DVR. All up to date.
I am getting internet to ATV via Nords TAP-NordVPN network adapter.
At first I couldn’t connect to Channels server from ATV at all then I turned on split tunneling which disables VPN for Channels DVR. Now ATV app connects to Channels DVR and gets Pluto M3U channels but when trying OTA channels (via HDHR Flex 4K) it says Tuner Unreachable. But I can watch the OTA channels from the PC that Channels DVR is running on. What the heck?
Update: I can also watch OTA stuff on Channels app on other devices like my iPhone just not my Apple TV.

Best to disable the VPN on the channels server. Alternatively turn on tuner sharing and based on the fact that TVE is working, then OTA should work as well.

Any reason that it’s best to disable VPN on the Channels server other than it caused the issue I had? Tuner sharing looks like it worked! Thank you.
