[TESTED] PureVPN port forwarding service works.

[Scrivani]

I am having some fun and rage on this

The thing is:

You have a VPN Service, so:

A. Can be enabled inside the Router
1) Router mode PPTP, most routers support by factory firmware

2) Router mode OpenVPN(seems better), need to install open source firmware DD-WRT in the Router OR have a openvpn factory supported Router (expensive)

B. Can be enabled directly inside the raspberry, also with same 2 options:
1) PPTP, use pppd/pon connection like dreampi does, kind of pan in the ass to make work together, need to be started after dreampi, otherwise will be killed. Work without forwarding ports from dreamcast IP to VPN connection

2) OpenVPN for raspberry (tun0), I can make it to talk with dreamcast (ppp0), but like above, can't foward ports yet, ok for games without dmz need.


C. Can be enabled inside the android or windows, but this don't help dreamcast hardware.


I am trying to get a best method to open ports to all games

On my tests, the simple PPTP router solution [ A1 ] already open connection for some games, that will not work without the VPN , if you dont have a dmz functional ISP (CGNAT)

Basically, Sports games still not work, that's why i am trying raspberry OpenVPN method [B2], because NBA works using that on "android vs dreamcast dmz'ed"

Still want to custom my tplink router with DD-WRT firmware [A2] that support openvpn inside the router.

Also, I am aware about the small number of possible interested persons, but is a challenge anyway


Below you see My raspberry with OpenVPN Miami US (purevpn tcp server), dreampi get his IP range , i did some tricks to share the connection between them, but missing port forwarding. [B2]

Also a PPTP raspberry connection. [B1]

Look for : sudo pon purevpn

Scriviani...i also have a netgear ax2400 router which has an option for vpn...but its open vpn and i contacted purevpn..they said its not compatible with their service...wonder if i could get a different vpn to work with it

They have a Netgear Nighthawk on list, but seems different... but well OpenVPN is OpenVPN, can you show a print of the config screen?

And yeah, maybe other VPN Providers could help

If I can change my tplink firmware and get openvpn to work, i tell you

If I can change my tplink firmware and get openvpn to work, i tell you

My tp-link model don't have open vpn even with open source firmware

[Scrivani]

This is 'dc in dmz' vs 'flycast in vpn sp_brasil', same network

Speed indicator: Great

Both side can invite

[Scrivani]

I believe that the problem may not be in the pptp connection method, but in the low speed that my vpn connection establishes with the countries with pptp support, like US, UK, DE.

So a connection between people from the same country can be fast enough for these sports games to work.

Other games are going well so far

is that a dreamcast emulator or something?

[Scrivani]

is that a dreamcast emulator or something?

Just for test, yes.

I mean, if you are in pptp vpn against another us players, should work, a game like NBA, because the low latency inside same country

[Scrivani]

PPTP Router mode , dreamcast hardware

Success:
- Worms , a friend using VPN, also tested me using VPN

- Driving Strikers, my host, + 2 friends using BBA

- Ooga Booga , fine

- ChuChu Rocket, 100% nice

Got NBA series

Dreamcast hardware at vpn pptp

Is really just a matter of good speed between the 2 players, to invites arrive, the ports are nice open via pptp, oh yes
