DNS for Apple TV goes external

Server Version#: latest beta
Player Version#: latest

So my issue is that the Apple TV player keeps going to the internet and then getting relayed back to my local server. In Tautaulli it reports that the Apple TV IP is 10.10.4.1 which is my Unifi USG 4 Pro and the Apple TV is 10.10.6.251 (no vlans /22 network).

Checking the Apple TV Plex logs, it shows this:

2021/02/18 16:27:30.554 (694 MB) (765782) :memo: PMKPlexConnection.m:405 | Trusting connection <PMKPlexServerConnection: 0x2801f8c80>[ ...**:32400 - plex,published,direct,verifiable ] for device <PMKServer: 0x2813bc640>[ Plex Server (608d2f80542aa35008cb53d8dd04092755568804)

Why is it showing my public IP for my firewall instead of the local server? Is it DNS? I mean it’s always DNS, but the Apple TV is getting DHCP from my local Windows Server 2016 as well as DNS on the same server. Apple TV networking shows that local DNS server.

How do I fix this? Or I will accept a direction to go otherwise, I’m moving to PFSense because Unifi has defied me for the last time!
