Description
Hello, I hosted Altserver on its own lightweight windows Virtual environment, while connected to WIFI and wired I managed to install altstore on my iPhone
but while connected to a VPN (OpenVPN) that is running on a machine on the exact network
altstore would not find the server within the exact network
is this meant to be this way or could be fixed?
I leave my house for periods longer than 7 days and getting it to work through VPN tunnel would be amazing
I confirmed that I can access other devices from the exact network from the iPhone while it is connected to the VPN

Research direction
Start by reproducing the setup with AltServer in a Windows virtual environment, an iPhone, and an OpenVPN connection on the same network. Compare server discovery and app refresh over Wi-Fi or wired connectivity with the VPN path. Done means AltStore can find AltServer and refresh apps while connected through the VPN.
