Remote PMS Access not working

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hello,

Every time I reboot my server the remote access works for some time, but after a while it will try and connect to the wrong private IP (it will try to connect to ens5 with ip 10.0.0.1). I have 2 network interfaces, one (eno1 192.168.0.25 is for internet && outside connections) the other one is ens5 (10.0.0.1) this is only for SMB sharing. Plex normally selects the correct interface right out of the box (eno1 normally) , wel not this time for me … :smiley: . I tryed to change the interface in the “network” tab in the PMS settings, without any success. I also added my iptabes in the picture below, they allow PMS to go through on the eno1 interface and just for testing purposes I blocked it on the ens5 interface.
Is there anything more am doing wrong, I used to do this all the time (have being using plex for 2 years).
Maybe this is just the latest update that is causing this, or does anybody have the same problem and found a solution ?

Server Version#: Ubuntu 18.04 - PMS Version 1.13.6.5339
Player Version#: Web Client Version 3.67.1

Does ens5 have a gateway address to the internet defined?

PMS won’t (shouldn’t and is a regression if it does) look at interfaces which have no defined external connection.

No normally not, I’ll add a screenshot of my netplan configuration.
I find it pretty strange I had this same setup for so long and reinstalled my ubuntu and plex last week and ran into this problem .

Where’s your DNS server IP ? :slight_smile:

I have drawn a black box around it :D, because I use my local ISP DNS (They work pretty fast and all my users are near and with the same ISP).
I’ve added the Open DNS addresses just as an example.
