Hello,
I have a problem using my 'plex android app' remotely with openvpn.
Here is the situation:
Local LAN: Everything works fine. The Plex android app finds the Plex server.
Remote with android openvpn client: The Plex android app does not find the Plex server (BUT I CAN PING THE PLEX SERVER!).
I believe the problem is that the android Plex app does a broadcast (255.255.255.255) to discover the Plex server and this broadcast is not routed through the VPN.
I read on a forum somewhere that the solution to push the broadcast traffic through the VPN, is running this command on a Linux client:
route add -host 255.255.255.255/32 <ip openvpn server> metrix=5
But how can i do this on android?
Or can i push this route from the openvpn server to the clients with push "route ...." (in my openvpn server.conf)
If so. does somebody know the exact command for my openvpn server conf (push "route .......")?
Maybe this question was asked a million times but i can not find an answer for it.
Best regards,
Raymond

Re: howto push a broadcast through the VPN
devs did not answer... for lan talk i've found Squiggle, file transfer to both sides works perfect.
