Are you able to connected to Plex when running cabernet through a VPN? |
|
I use a docker image called gluetun which lets me route other docker containers through it using a vpn provider of my choosing. You can choose a port on gluetun to connect to as needed. My changes allowed me to achieve this as needed to be able to route my entire connection through a vpn to view some channels that require it. I need to update again as I have slightly diverged from the most recent updates. If there is interest I can update my PR and try again. |

I run cabernet through a docker that runs through a VPN. My issue is that Plex sees the tuner and gets the epg data but won't play anything even though I'm able to play things through VLC. |
|
I'm not sure exactly what the issue is but I plan to update the vpn fork to the latest version today or later this week as I have some plugins that need updating as well. If you need help with your setup you can message me on discord (un: .r00tus3r) and I can try to assist. |
I appreciate it. I'll take sometime this today and tomorrow to try your setup, I'll shoot you a message when I do. |

Sorry to hijack this thread: I use a docker image, which contains OpenVPN and privoxy. As mentioned by you, it lets me route traffic through it using a vpn provider. |
I feel like that is more dependent upon what container service you use to route to each VPN. I use gluetun, I'm not sure if it let's you use multiple VPNs at the same time. Nothing is stopping you from having a separate docker container for each though. |
I have got separate docker container for each vpn connection. But how do I tell cabernet/pluto.tv to route Internet traffic through a specific VPN container? I have been searching for a parameter like |
Ahh I see what you mean. The easiest option is one Cabernet and VPN container pair per route you want. What I setup won't natively do what you're trying to achieve. You'd have to fork and make some modifications if you wanted it all in one. It's been awhile since I've looked at the code, I don't think that would be easy to achieve. |
I guess the big question here is why are you trying to do this? It doesn't seem like the best setup tbh. |
Well, I could run Cabernet and VPN in one and the same container, running several container for different regions. But I would like to avoid this setup, as I would have to modify my self-build image every time something changes within cabernet.
I would like to receive pluto.tv from different countries; in our special case I want to watch german-speaking channels, whereas my wife wants to watch the spanish-speaking ones. The whole thing ideally in conjunction with TvHeadend. If I were only interested in the program offered in a specific region, it would be easier to use the pvr module for pluto integrated into Kodi. |

Per the requests python library, you can add a proxy with the following environment variables. |
We had discussed this some time ago but my beautifier wreaked havoc on the repository so I didn't want to open a PR. With the new version I started fresh and figured this may be worthwhile to others. The idea here is that the original port works as normal but the new input allows you to define a different external port that will be used for Plex. In practice, I route all of cabernet's traffic through a VPN prior to it connecting to various plugins and internally I need to use the port my VPN container uses for me to access. By default, I made the port number the same as normal so it would not affect users not using a VPN.
