Surfshark VPN

Finding more and more that I may need to start using a vpn, but I see that it can cause issues with Emby. Has anyone tried the Surfshark VPN service and whitelisted Emby in the service?

Hi, I haven't seen that name come up too many times over the years. Only a couple hits when searching the forum:

I use Surfshark and have never had a issue with it. I have more of an issue using Plex with a vpn then Emby with Surfshark.

Thanks for the link @Luke.

@jeb0921, did you whitelist Emby or do your remote clients use the Surfshark app? Thanks.

I never had to whitelist the program. with plex, I had to. But your setup might be different. Whitelisting is easy so shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks! I appreciate the info.

Just saw that this topic from long ago came back up. The vpn I use (PIA) now supports split tunnel so on my windows machine that solved all my problems of remote connecting. These days I just use Unraid on a server with dockers and holly crap is that a WAY better solution.
