I recently set up a new media server on OMV 4.x, and decided to use dockers for my various applications, which has been tremendous.
However, I am running into an issue with my VPN causing problems for Plex remote server access.
I installed the /linuxserver/plex docker which works great, followed with the /linuxserver/transmission docker with similarly great results.
Then I stumbled across TechnoDadLife's video on the /haugene/transmission-openvpn docker. With torrenting getting hotter and hotter, I figured this was a no brainer. I set it up as per his specifications, shut down the original transmission docker, and it worked great.
The problem came when I then tried to access my Plex server outside my network. I have my router set up to forward it on port 50000, which has worked flawlessly before the Transmission-OpenVPN docker was added. However, this morning, I went to access Plex at the gym, and noticed I could not access my server. Got home, and noticed that Plex Remote Access had an error saying it was unavailable. I tried resetting my router, and forwarding a new port, and none of it worked. In the troubleshooting, I stopped the /haugene/transmission-openvpn docker, and sure enough, Plex Remote Access fired up immediately.
I was under the impression that the Transmission-OpenVPN docker only ran transmission traffic through the VPN within the single docker, but it appears I was very wrong about that. Is there any way I can make Plex exempt from this OpenVPN traffic? Or any other solution to access my Plex server remotely while still utilizing VPN for my torrenting traffic?
Thanks in advance.
