So I found an old post, but essentially what OttoKerner says here is that as long as 32400 remains open, the apps will ALWAYS use 32400, not the proxy. So if you had 32400 open, the clients still would have come through 32400.
When you removed the custom URL did you by chance remove the certificate as well? I’m wondering if this perhaps is more of an issue with the certificate, rather than the custom URL?

Why is plex forcing a connection attempt on port 32400, when you specifically configure plex not to?.
That is not what the setting does.
It allows you to specify an additional , alternate URL for Plex clients to try and use. Just in case the direct connection (per local/private IP and port 32400) is not usable.
Nowhere does it say that other routes to contact the server are switched off by this.
