Remote Access says "Not available outside your network", but kind of is... ?!?!

I think I might have found the source of the problem, my reported external IP inside plex was not matching with the ip reported by canyouseeme.org so, I looked up the IP Plex was reporting and it turned out to be something related with getflix, I overwrote the DNS inside the machine running the server so it doesn’t use GETFLIX DNS, since my whole network uses them by default, and suddenly it started working…

Then I found this post, with people reporting the same behavior:
https://forums.plex.tv/t/issues-with-remote-access-incorrect-public-ip-address/503122/7

Supposedly, GETFLIX might be trying to make plex think the server location is different so it shows another region movies in the newly released movie streaming service…
