VPN that play nice with emby and other web apps?

There's an updater program on my server that sometimes require VPN connection in order to work properly.

Now the problem is, when VPN is active my emby server can't be accessed from external connection,

I have read on some posts here that even with split tunneling it wont work.

So is there any VPN with split tunneling that is compatible with emby ?

You need to be able to forward the port through their firewall. Which service are you using?

Im using nordvpn now and i kinda regret choosing it, even with forcebindip it wont work.. which service has proven to work with emby?

Yeah, don't think they allow port forwarding. I use Torguard. I made a guide for it.

Expressvpn have split tunneling and that works fine. I use it with the routerapp from ExpressVPN.

Thanks guys, gonna test it one by one. But i'm also gonna consider hyper-v especially since vpn apps are often updated and thats not always good for stability

This sounds more like a routing issue.

I have a VPN running on my router and all the traffic coming from my Emby VM is routed over that connection, however all incoming connections still go over my ISP's IP and are port forwarded by the router to the Emby VM's local IP.

 

Ideally you run the VPN on a router and not as an application on your Emby PC but if you do, make sure that Emby is now somehow binding to the VPN application's IP but instead still binds to the local IP. In that case you should have no problem remotely connecting to Emby over you ISP's IP together with a port forward on your router.
