Hello, I am looking for help from experiences here as I was not able to troubleshoot and find the root0cause.

I am having trouble to access webpage https://api.o2tv.cz when using VPN (NORDVPN client) on Asus Merlin fw, router RT-AX86U v386.7_2

1. I got no response when LAN PC -> ROUTER (NORDVPN client) -> API.O2TV.CZ
It takes 30s and no connections
Code:
curl -sSf https://api.o2tv.cz
When tried google it just works
Code:
curl -sSf https://www.google.cz
<!doctype html><html itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" lang="cs"><head><m

2. There is response when LAN PC (NORDVPN app) -> ROUTER (VPN DIRECTOR RULE TO BYPASS) -> API.O2TV.CZ
VPN Director rule to bypass the router VPN
Code:
Oct 15 19:28:55 openvpn-routing: Routing O2TV API from 192.168.1.121 to 160.218.0.0/16 through main
Connection just work when connected to VPN but via PC APP or even mobile APP
Code:
curl -sSf https://api.o2tv.cz
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Why I can not access this specific webpage on LAN devices when running NORDVPN on router but can access when running NORDVPN APP on PC/MOBILE ?

Thank you
 
They might be blacklisting the IP from the server used on the router, but not the IP used by the mobile app. Try different servers.
 
You are right, some servers are blacklisting the IP for some reason and some not. I did some tests and turns out that on some servers I was able to connect and on some not.

Thanks for pointing me, I am talking to NORDVPN and seems that there are some issue on some of their servers.
