Using Plex with a router VPN

Hi All,
I’ve been using Plex for a couple years now and it is fantastic. I just recently flashed my Netgear R7000 router with DD-WRT (Kong Mod) and added a VPN (Private Internet Access) to the router. I really like having the VPN on my router as anything that is connected to it is covered, and it is really working well.
Anyways, I am having issues with Plex outside my network (Remote Access) and I use a dedicated server for Plex. I have read bits and pieces of VPN stuff on here, but has anyone come up with a solution to either bypass the VPN or settings to go through the VPN? Any help would be appreciated as my daughter, who lives away from home, is already complaining that she can’t access my Plex. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Jason, I really appreciate it. I will try that today and see how it goes.
