RTMP Re-streaming Setup

Stream once from your studio, have the Korean VPS re-stream to multiple platforms simultaneously — all with Korean source IP.

# Install nginx-rtmp on Korean VPS
apt install -y nginx libnginx-mod-rtmp

# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf - add rtmp block
rtmp {
  server {
    listen 1935;
    application live {
      live on;
      push rtmp://rtmp.afreecatv.com/app/YOUR_KEY;
      push rtmp://rtmp.now.naver.com/live/YOUR_KEY;
    }
  }
}

In OBS: set stream to rtmp://YOUR_VPS_IP/live. Your VPS relays to all Korean platforms with Korean IP.
