I have set properly emby server on my windows 11.

Also i have dynamic ip and for this i have on DYNDNS (dyndns.it / dyndns-custom) my host: myname.homepc.it

I try from outside lan with my phone and i can connect to emby server with myname.homepc.it port 8096, user and pass

The problem is when on my computer enable VPN (NordVpn), always from ny phone is impossible connect to emby server

Pls some suggestions

 

Thank

Hispa

NordVPN does not support Port Forwarding, which you would need to remotely access Emby server with VPN connection active.

Do you offer port forwarding? | NordVPN Support

Yep, few of them, @cayars likes PIA, I prefer AirVPN, and surely there are others.

Nothing particularly special about PIA compared to other VPNs. Just a case of recommending what you're familiar with that should give reproducible experiences for others.

I just happen to have used it for years and know it has all the features needed to work. It has good coverage and lots of servers for a pretty consistent experience. That surely doesn't mean it's the best for any particular user or geo area which would need private testing.

Was able to install OpenVPN Connect 

Follow guide but download OpenVPN Connect for internet blocking while VPN is down:

https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Windows/1047409832/How-to-set-up-manual-connection-on-Windows-7-and-above.htm

Relevant config file info (xxx.xxx.xxx is VPN subnet; yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is router gateway):

client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.209 443
resolv-retry infinite
remote-random
route plex.tv xxx.xxx.xxx.212 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
nobind
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
persist-key
persist-tun
ping 15
ping-restart 0
ping-timer-rem
reneg-sec 0
comp-lzo no

remote-cert-tls server

block-outside-dns

 

Verified VPN IP and did DNSleak tests showing correct VPN IP address.

 

Use at own risk.

If my emby server is on a pc running a vpn, will it route all traffic through the internet or does it remain local?
