NGINX Proxy - X-Forwarded-For ignored for 192.168 / 10.0 / private addresses

I simply switched to using a “hybrid” approach:

  • local clients access the server directly via the [local_ip].[pms_id].plex.direct-domain
  • remote clients access the server via an NGINX reverse proxy that handles the SSL cert

Remote access on the server is turned off completely. I just have the NGINX domain configured as a custom server access URL in PMS.

Works like a charm and actually keeps some (the local) traffic off my reverse proxy.

That’s how I was setup before but it doesn’t fix the bug, just avoids it.
