Live TV and VPN

[timwagg 0]

Hi All - has anyone managed to set up a VPN with Emby which ensures a protected connection when using IPTV services but still allows for remote connections? I can't seem to figure out how to do both and I don't want to whitelist the Emby app as it'll mean my IPTV service won't be protected as required.

Cheers

Hey @Luke

I checked out the associated post, and the user talks about how he adjusted his settings on his VPN to get his IPTV service working, but doesn't explain how he actually made that work with Emby operating through a VPN. My understanding is that if Emby is run through a VPN then remote access wont work as Emby isn't accessing the right IP address anymore. 

 

Is there something I'm missing? My IPTV wont work in Emby, but will work in other players, but only with a VPN running. This suggests i need to run a VPN in Emby for live tv, but I don't know how to implement that 1) In general, and 2) Without breaking my current remote connection setup.

I have my server running through a VPN and can remotely access it. I think you will need a service that will support port forwarding. I use AirVPN but I'm sure there are others. I have the wireguard VPN connection set up on an opnsense router.
