Back once more… so I have everything setup not sure why it randomly keeps failing. Right now this is the problem. I am checking my remote access tab it shows the following when the vpn is running
Private: 10.15.xx.xx: 32400 < Public: MY ACTUAL PUBLIC IP FROM MY ISP: 32400 X Internet
While my public ip is correct its forwarding the traffic to an ip (where it says private) that correlates to the VPN (in my case PIA). but should it not be forwarding to 192.168.1.222 which is the local ip for my plex server?
I did the override in the .bat by removing the :: and adding my actual default gateway to ensure I was using the correct gateway, This is how the bat looks that I am using right now and it is failing again. Any help? Nothing has been changed on the computer. If needed I can provide the results of routeprint
- Remote access tab now reads Not available outside your network
- My connection on my plex app on my phone now shows (Indirect)
- My parents can no longer access the plex app at their house (I set up manual connections in their roku plex app to connect to my real isp provided public IP with the right port and forwarded the port in my own router to my local ip of the computer running my plex sever)
