I have a similar configuration and I’m experiencing the same issues. Definitely a Plex problem.
Plex configuration:
Remote Access off
Custom SSL Cert configured
Custom server access URL: https://plex.example.com
LAN Network: 192.168.1.0/24
Treat WAN IP As LAN Bandwidth: off
HAProxy configuration:
http mode
terminates TLS
multiplexes :443 (for other services), forwards plex.example.com to 192.168.1.8:32400 (HAProxy ↔ Plex connection is also TLS)
option forwardfor (sends X-Forwarded-For)
I can confirm from Plex logs that it receives the correct X-Forwarded-For header, and even acknowledges that it’s using it (screenshotted)
However, the bandwidth dashboard shows remote traffic as local (also screenshotted).
From this I assume that other important settings (“Remote streams allowed per user” for example) are also ignored.
