Hi, this is a cross post but thought this might be a better forum for an answer.
Got Netflix running well for the past few months on simple model of:
Apple TV - Mikrotik Router - PPOE through Billion ADSL modem.
I have a StrongVPN Connection to New York on the Mikrotik running and mark all traffic from the 2 Apple TV's (fixed IP's) and force them to route all traffic across the StrongVPN connection and it works with Netflix like a dream!
Problem: Other services on the Apple TV would include iTunes and Youtube and a few others. These perform extremely poorly over the VPN and if I move the Apple TV off of the VPN these services work well but then obviously Netflix stops working.
I have monitored the VPN connection closely (Torch on Mikrotik) and traced all the destination IP's when connecting to Netflix and just tried to route those across the VPN connection without having the whole Apple TV go through the VPN but it still moans I am coming from a foreign IP address.
I have about 30 routes in and I also forced DNS to 8.8.8.8 to go through VPN but still no joy. I have searched online but there is no solid answer or there is something I might be missing.
I am not sure if there is a route list I can use or if there is something I am missing so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
