Calling all Network admins with obscure knowledge! SRT stream OBS to OBS over internet with VPN. Need help.

Buddy and I are trying to stream two video inputs from our respective computers in different cities to one Twitch channel – via one of our OBSes. Our limited hardware rules out using a screen capture to restream. We’re both living in Mainland China where Twitch is censored, naturally we use a Astrill VPN. We’ve followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDgZ-IqvCJc very closely and are having no luck connecting. We’re always getting the same error code from OBS:

An unspecified error occurred while recording.

Couldn’t open ‘srt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port?latency=200000’ , I/O error

We’re at a total loss here.

We’ve tried changing the UDP ports multiple times, but https://canyouseeme.org/, netstat and telnet all say our ports are perpetually closed.

We’ve tried all I.P addresses: router public IP with VPN on, with VPN off, VPN given public IP with VPN on and VPN off. ALL the IPs listed in ipconfig.

We’ve tried excluding OBS from the VPN connection.

We’ve also gotten some forwarded ports from our VPN provider and we get the same error.

Same Error. Every. Single. Time.

We’ve run out of leads to follow and there seems to be no more online resources for us to scour.

Inb4 don’t use VPN, just use a screen cap. Inb4 setup an rtmp server – we are poor.

okay you use an VPN provider mmh it can be a problem with the VPN.

How to set up your own private RTMP server using nginx

Most people who stream enjoy using services such as Twitch.tv or Ustream to deliver video to viewers, and that works well enough. But sometimes you want some more control over your stream, or you want other people to be able to stream to you, or...

Live Streaming Proxy

Live streaming proxy used to route RTMP requests to a fleet of live encoding servers.
dev.to dev.to

with an RTMP proxy you can stream to another server and this server sends the video to twitch so you can use AWS or other not blocked server ip
