It appears I am one of the many Plex users having remote access issues. I have researched the issues extensively and tried numerous options to no avail. I am now appealing to the community for help.
Here is the setup:
Plex HW Server: WD PR4100
Firmware Up to date: 5.12.108
LAN IP: 192.168.50.70:32400
Plex Media Server: Version 1.22.3.4392
Manual Port Forwarding set for port 32400
Router: ASUS RT-AX58U
WAN IP: (Static) 139.xxx.xxx.xxx (Paid extra $10/month for static IP)
Port Forwarding set for: 192.168.50.70 Port 32400
ISP: 150/150 up/down through fiber POE device.
ISP Gateway IP: 65.207.XX.XX
Problem: Direct remote access not available outside my network (indirect only)
ISP states his gateway (65.207.X.X) is not blocking and that I have a static IP.
Here are relevant sections of my server logs:

It looks like a Double NAT situation but my ISP is stating he is not blocking. Any help is appreciated.
