Connecting with 2 accounts from behind the same router

[snoodlehouse 1]

I use my main AirVPN account for a home desktop PC. I also have a 3-day account to try it out on my iPhone. When I use the OpenVPN iOS app, I can connect fine using the 4G cellular connection. But when I try to connect to AirVPN using my home WiFi router, the connection times out.

 

I assume this is because 2 devices are trying to connect to AirVPN from the same IP and there is a conflict somehow. I have tried generating iOS config files for different ports, TCP, UDP. I generated config files for ports 443, 53, and 2018. I have tried forwarding these ports from my router. None of these work with the home Wifi connection. They all work using the 4G connection.

 

Is there a way to get this to work? (I realize that it is possible to set up my router to use AirVPN. It ended up being way too slow.)

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

please see:

Also, have a look at https://airvpn.org/ddwrt and https://airvpn.org/tomato

 

Can you please tell us your router brand and model? We'll check if it is Tomato or DD-WRT compatible. If you have already tried that, resulting in unacceptable performance, you might evaluate to setup a computer as a host, sharing Internet connection, in order to allow all the devices in your home network to tunnel their traffic transparently.

 

Kind regards
