"Media Streaming" with Samsung TV / DNS
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2018 2:42 am
Hi,
First off, thanks for a great product. I've been demoing Viscosity, and intend to purchase it soon.
Apologies if this question is somewhat outside of the scope of the product, but..
I've successfully installed an OpenVPN server (on RedHat in AWS) following your tutorial here, which is great as I already have an AWS environment set up and am comfortable with building Linux servers and configuring network rules etc.
I'm routing all internet traffic through it successfully.
With my previous subscription based VPN service (ExpressVPN), they offered a service called "Media Streamer", which allowed me to put a DNS address into the static IP settings of my Samsung TV, and stream US Netflix without using the actual VPN client itself.
However, when I try and put the DNS address of my OpenVPN (which is also a DNS server) server into my TV, it can't access the internet at all.
Is there some sort of open source proxying software that is required for this, in addition to OpenVPN?
Or am I missing a setting/route/configuration somehow on my server to allow this to work?
Many thanks.
