Hi there,

Newbie here, so please be gentle Smile

I have the AFTV Gen 2 running latest OS.

I have setup an OpenVPN VPN "Router-on-a-stick" on a "spare" Raspberry Pi I had lying around.
This is successfully using my PIA VPN login credentials to provide a alternative external IP..

I have pointed the FireTv gateway config away from my default router gateway, to my new RPi VPN 'router'.
Both the FireOS and Kodi still continue to work, but there does not seem to be a way to check that the Kodi load is using the correct/new (VPN) external IP address.

Note: I have checked this with my PC and the RPi definitely provides a switched IP.

So how can I check what the external IP address of the FireTV/Kodi setup is? Huh

Many thanks in advance.
