I have setup a separate server from my MAIN and LB Servers which is running openVPN.
My LB servers host my content (LB1 Streams and LB2 VOD).
My objective is to prevent my streams from being taken down or blocked by ISP's for subscribers when viewing them without a client side VPN running on their devices.
One method would be to integrate connectivity to my openVPN server into a custom app so that when users connect to my DNS via username and password they also connect to my vpn server with a global username and password as configured within the app, While possible, this is going to be a pain to integrate into the code of the app so hoping for a better method...
Another approach I was wondering about was if I was to install an openVPN client onto my LB servers and connect to my vpn server so that my LB IP addresses are changed to the address of my vpn server, would this do any good? I'm assuming it won't help from preventing the ISP of the end user from blocking the service as they are not actually connected to a VPN, but would it be beneficial in protecting the service from being taken down by EPL agents and therefore worth considering?
Thanks,
