Got a VPN, Plex Quality Drops

Plex Media Server

Hi folks, I just got a VPN (Mullvad) and it’s working as intended. However, when I attempt to stream content on Plex from my PC (hosting the data) to other devices on my local network, the video quality is dramatically diminished. If I turn off the VPN, the video quality is restored to its original level when streaming to other devices. What can I do to continue using my VPN, while also streaming in full quality on other devices? Thanks!

Server Version#: 4.62.1
Player Version#: Unknown

Thank you so much for the super quick reply!

It turns out that Mullvad allows split-tunneling, and I can exclude Plex from the VPN through Mullvad’s UI. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction!
