  Probably doesn’t. Might need to use the router to get the whole network on th vpn

  They could route it though a different device

  I have my smart TV access it over my local network. If you’re using a friends instance, you could set up a WiFi SSID that tunnels everything over your VPN.

    Yeah I want to completely switch off of Plex but neither is a good solution for my non tech family members. Mother in law is in a retirement center where they use wifi provided for the condos so I can’t access her router. And I would expect her ip to occasionally change on reboots etc. I might try IP ranges or narrow geo blocking.

      Yeah, an IP range totally works. Figure out the subnet info and add that to a whitelist. It’s a pain, but it should keep the script kiddies at bay.

  You configure the VPN in the router the roku connects through.
