Hi Everyone!
First time posting here, but longtime lurker. Really love this community and it's been incredibly ressourceful.
As an intro, I am currently using a single RT-AC68U on AsusWRT-Merlin 384.19.
So I have an IPTV service with my local ISP provider. It requires that I be connected to the Internet on the ISP's IP Address in order to have access to the IPTV app on an Amazon Firestick 4K. I have setup OpenVPN client on the firestick, and was able to connect to the OpenVPN Profile using the Configuration File provided in Asus Merlin Interface. OpenVPN indicates on the Firestick that it is connected, and shows the correct IP address. However, whenever I open the IPTV app (Android TV), it attempts for several seconds to connect to the Internet(ISP server), but then fails, and says "No network connection".
What could be causing this? Thanks in advance for your help!
Here's what I've done:
- Enabled OpenVPN Server" and chosen "Both" for "Client will use VPN to access".
- Created Username and Password in the VPN Server page.
- Exported OpenVPN configuration file, imported ovpn profile file in the OpenVPN Client on the Firestick. (Connects successfully)
- Port 1194, UDP, TUN, Subnet 10.8.0.0
I have not used DDNS or any of the certifications. Could that be the issue?
TLDR: I would like to use my IPTV service when im outside my home network. It requires that I use my ISP's IP Address. How do I solve this using OpenVPN on AsusWRT Merlin?
