Need help creating a private network bridge

[Galaxysurfer]

hi,

I have a home dvr setup using a network tuner. I had been using the server pc with a vpn. Recently something changed so that the tuner can't be discovered. My only option to fix it was to disable the vpn on my server. That is not an acceptable option to me. On their support site they suggested the solution is to create a privately bridged network so that the the device will be discovered while using a vpn. I have no idea how to do this with Asuswrt-merlin. Can anyone offer me guidance on how to do this please?

The other option is to create/ use a residential proxy. Which of the two options would work best & how can I implement them?

It may rely on MDNS or some similar LAN only protocol for discovery. Maybe add a VPN exception to allow the discovery to bypass VPN?

How would I go about doing that?

Depends on the VPN you're using but most have split tunneling or bypass options you can configure.
