plex misidentifies cellular data and offsite Wi-Fi as home networks, so can you help see if it’s a bug? Thank you

As all traffic goes through the VPN interface I suspect the setting of it rules here, regardless where the traffic originates from.

Why are you using Plex with a VPN connection?
What kind of VPN is it?

VPN is used to access NAS data on the Internet, and plex servers are not exposed to the Internet.

The VPN used is wireguard

There are so many different VPN services available right now that I don’t even know which one to turn to. The best free VPNs can be found on this platform. Currently, virtual private networks work so that any users connected to a VPN can access the entire network as if they were on a local network. This gives businesses a huge advantage, as remote clients can connect to private networks, access any data, and share files as if they were nearby. This makes it incredibly easy for large international companies to manage multiple remote offices and provides easy access to the necessary data for remote employees.
