Tvheadend

No problem with vpn tunnel on my setup.
Modern router's support it, no end user changes needed.

Thanks for your reply.
My router is quit modern, but my TVheadend server don't use my Router as VPN gateway, I got another VPN server on the network.

Any other ideas ?

Give example what you do,
and what's is not going on.
How you try to redirect etc.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean as I have explained the scenario in my original question ?
I'd like to stream to the internet (external port 9981) with the TVH server still connected to VPN.

You see it on front of you we not.
What software you use and how you try to do it?

No offence mate, anyone else please who understands what I mean ?

Ok I have sorted it with a second TVH server.
THV with VPN:9981 <-- THV without VPN:9981 <-- Router:PORTXXXXX <-- Family living in Australia

Works great, but if someone knows a solution with one TVH only would be great

Thanks

I'm assuming you are port forwarding from your router to port 9981 on your TVH machine?

This script allows traffic incoming on eth0 to exit via eth0 [i.e. not via the VPN]:

#!/bin/bash
GW=192.168.1.254
HOST=$(hostname -I | cut -d ' ' -f 1 )
NET=192.168.1.0/24
DEV=eth0

ip route add default via $GW dev $DEV table 22
ip route add $NET dev $DEV src $HOST table 22
ip rule add from $HOST table 22
ip rule add from all to $HOST dev $DEV table 22
ip route flush cache

You may need to edit GW (IP address of router), NET (Your LAN) or DEV (ethernet device connecting to your LAN)

I see what your script does, but if it adds my default GW it won't use the VPN connection, which is currently my default GW
Default GW 192.168.0.1
VPN Server as GW 192.168.0.2

root@tvheadend:~# netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ens160
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ens160

192.168.0.2 is a local VPN server on my lan connected to VPN and some devices on my LAN (including TVH) use the VPN GW.

No reverse NAT rule.
if vpn is on router will work on start,
else routing and redirecting.
