Can I connect to my ps4 directly with IP address? about offline-ps4-remote-play

I just made it!
Here's what I have done, hope this could be useful.
I started a VM on another PC, which is under the same router with my PS4, and installed CentOS on it.
Then I was basically following this tutorial with some modifications:
https://stewartadam.io/blog/2016/04/13/using-openvpn-connection-play-games-while-abroad-using-streams-home-streaming

1. add <push "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 {server ip}"> into bridged.conf
2. replace the content of up.sh with
   /sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0
   /sbin/ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
3. add a user to group "openvpn_pw"

On my client PC, after connected to the server, Steam In-home Streaming worked, but remote play still couldn't find my PS4 on LAN. After remote play connected to PS4 through Internet, I restarted remote play, and this time it found PS4 on LAN.

Maybe adding a rule in your hosts file might work.
For example, adding (source then destination) 10.13.71.x 10.110.41.y with x any number that isn't currently used and y your PS4's actual IP address might trick the Remote Play into believing that your PS4 is on your local network, I haven't tested that but it's worth a try.

I finally find out that remote play use broadcasting to search PS4, so it's not that simple. Now I'm trying with VPN. Steam In-home streaming works with this way, still some more works to do with PS4.

Okay, let me know if it works!
