Emby with VPN

[1pass 0]

Curious as to what people are using with their emby servers as a setup using vpn or proxy. What is recommended when you have people connecting to your emby server in regards to being anonymous to the public. My servers are ran through a socks 5 proxy chain and use no-ip as the connect source after 3rd sock 5 using only mikrotik on fibre to keep the speed up. I keep it to 3 as to allow playback with no freezing even on iptv i run directly off an OScam to ensure no freezing for the tv stream.

 

Curious on what others are doing.

Sorry I'm not a VPN expert. I was just trying to pull someone into the thread who I know can provide valuable insight.

I have tried a few, VyprVPN works without any issues, I think i was unsuccessful using CyberGhost and so far am unsuccessful using NordVPN - i am trying but am by no means any sort of IT professional, and i also do not have premium.

I use ExpressVPN. It costs a bit more than some but it can be directly installed on many routers and it is easy to change servers as needed and you can separately install and manage on a PC. That is you can have your router using say a New York server and use a Washington DC server on your PC even though it is connected to your router.

 

That is ExpressVPN's router software is smart enough to recognize that an attached PC is using a different server and just let it through.

 

In the case of VPN's you often get what you pay for.

 

My router is an Asus RT-AC87U and ExpressVPN has a version of DD-WRT that directly installs on the router and that takes most setup issues out of the equation. It just works!
