Hey guys. I have another problem. Im behind a double NAT and everything is forwarded fine. BUT plex counts any stream as Local and shows it as local streamed also if its streamed over the internet. So i cant set the max upload for my users. Any way to say to plex that only ips from this ip range are counting to local?
Thanks in advance!!!
It appears that all of the requests are coming from “internal” IP addresses.
How are you forwarding traffic to the Plex Media Server? Are you using a reverse proxy of any sort? What devices are involved, and how are they configured to forward the connections?
Your Docker configuration could contribute to this as well, if it is using NAT and address translation is being performed on connections into the container.
Its a docker container on unraid os. Just forwarding from first router to my network then from my router to the docker ip which is the same as the unraid ip. I did try already to get plex a seperate ip adress. But same result. No proxy or anything
I just checked and it seems that all external connections are displayed as the router address 192.168.111.254
If anything in the pipeline is performing address translation, preventing Plex from seeing the original client IP address, this will occur.
If 192.168.111.254 is your router address, that’s probably the device that’s doing the translation. What’s that device? Specifically how have you configured the forwarding? Screenshots might be useful.
So probably the first router (192.168.1.254) is the problem. Im locked in a VLAN
I believe that if the only IP address you ever see is 192.168.111.253, that’s most likely the “problematic” device. That’s your LAN network subnet range & immediate gateway, right?
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a MikroTik in person. I assume you have a single source NAT configured for your outbound traffic? Is there any chance there’s another source NAT rule that could be affecting this traffic?
So .111.254 is the mikrotik router and 111.253 is the unraid nas. I can try one more thing. Will try a second lan adapter to get another ip adress in the “normal” net. So i get directly to the first stage of the subnet. Thankd already will try that tomorrow and get back to you!
Well, same thing. If the only source address you see is 111.253, that’s probably the problematic device.
In Unraid/Docker, how is the networking configured?
If Unraid/Docker are performing translation, you may prefer either macvlan or host networking. The default Docker “bridged” networking may not be ideal.
Its on host mode in docker.
