The remote access will connect and about 30-45 seconds later it will turn red and say Not available outside your network. Not sure why this is doing this because it has always worked before. Its been in the last several months it started doing it. Has anybody else have this problem? If so, were you able to fix it and how did you do it

Same here. It will say I have internet for 30 seconds and then go red. Everything keeps functioning as expected, but is super annoying because you think there is always a problem.

Same issue remote access is very unstable. I have opened my port and created a fixed IP for my server machine.  
I also constantly get “indirect” warnings even when I just on another machine in my house.

I’m having the same issue.

EDIT: I found and fixed my issue. It was my GeoIP filtering and blocking incoming connections from outside the United States that was causing the issue.

I remembered after the Ukraine issue has started ramping up, I changed my GeoIP Country Restriction filtering on my UniFi security gateway to only allow incoming from United States. Once I removed this filtering, the connection stays constant connected green. So this leads to my question. Are any of the Plex servic…
