VPN Policy for bypassing Playstation Remote Play on Wireguard

Hi folks,

I'm away from home using my Beryl-AX Travel Router with Wireguard VPN (NordVPN)

Would anyone know what domains I need to add to bypass the VPN client to use Playstation Remote Play?

If I turn off the VPN, everything works fine, with the VPN on I get an error.

I guess that you would need to use third party software installed on a PC to get Remote Play on the Wireguard VPN, as I have seen on the Internet about this.

How about to setup the VPN policy to filter by Client device?
Setup the Playstation to not go through VPN.

If mac policy isn't your thing then your only option is to check with tcpdump to the remote ports and check the hostnames.

Maybe its fine enough to whitelist playstation.net.

i analyzed gta online traffic on the playstation and figured out its just like pc with other words if you make playstation.net as bypass you won't leak it in games, since traffic does not use playstations api to communicate with p2p peers.

Only issue is maybe with playstations direct communications like microphone chat, i haven't checked this.

You can use something like this:
tcpdump -i br-lan host ps5host

Or tcpdump -i br-lan host ps5host and dst port x

Thanks, I don't think this the right solution for me as I'm running Wireguard on the BerylAX itself.

I want to try and stick to domain policies as I am already using that for things like accessing the FQDN of my NAS and not going through the VPN. This works perfectly fine.

Thanks, will give this a shot in the weekend :+1:t4:

Got it, it seems that a multiplex policy based on domain and mac together would be help in such scenario. I think we shall try to make it in the future.

Back to this issue, I asked the chatgpt and it told me these domains, maybe you can give it a try?

  1. PlayStation Network Domains:
  • playstation.com
  • psn.com
  • playstation.net
  1. Remote Play specific domains:
  • remoteplay.playstation.net
  • download.playstation.com
