Chrome is my non Default Browser that I use for the likes of Plex Server and other Local Region sensitive media. Example: Pay TV

As my friend Juice said above, you must have a solid Remote access setup firstly. I’m gathering this is already the case, is that correct?

With port forwarding don’t rely on UPnP have it disabled and use manual port forwarding. UPnP can be unreliable with some consumer and ISP provided Routers.
