Add VPN user to local subnet

Isocadia · January 6, 2017

Hi

I'm currently trying to setup a plex media server on my nas. Unfortunately, with my current situation, I have no local access to the NAS or the home network but I do have VPN access with local network sharing enabled. Problem is, when entering the Plex web-UI through UnRaid the plex-app doesn't want to see the unconfigured media server. This is apparently because my IP adress ( 10.8.0.6 ) is not in the same subnet as the server ( 192.168.1.10 ). Is there a way for me to "spoof" my IP or configure the Asus VPN server in such a way that I'm added to the local subnet ( 192.168.1.0 )?

Sincerely,
Isocadia

I doubt this will work, but you may be able to Statically configure an IP within the other subnet. It'd shock me if Asus enabled isolation on the VPN, considering the purpose of it is to be able to access things at home. I have an EdgeRouter... nor do I really like/use ASUS products, but those are my thoughts on what may work.

You could always setup a second ethernet card on the Plex server and VPN that into the same server... it'd be weird, but it should work. You'd have two interfaces. Hopefully Plex can bind to both.
