I’ve been having a lot of problems and still have no real solution. So far this has been stable. I followed the reconnect issues guide from PLEX unable to get that to work I troubleshot for a few more hours.

Honestly I don’t know what got it to work. But I hope this all helps.

Step 1. Exclude Plex media server on Mullvad (and many more seen below)

Step 2. Turn off Plex media server and make sure its closed in task bar

Step 3. Turn on the Plex Media server.

Step 4. Assign different ports to be used on the Remote Access page, main server to be 32400, alternate server being automatically selected by plex

Step 4.5 Port forwarded just 32400 and not the alternate server port

Step 5. Turn off Mullvad

Step 6. Press the Apply button on PLEX remote access settings

Step 7. Turn on Mullvad

Additional things I’ve tried

Turn off Mullvad then connect to remote access on plex, then turn on mullvad. This fails after refreshing my page

I have included every application in the Plex Media Server folder for split tunneling.

PlexScriptHost

Plex Update Service

Plex Update Service Launcher

Plex Tuner Service

Plex Transcoder

Plex SQLite

Plex Relay

Plex Media Server

Plex Media Scanner

Plex Media Fingerprint

Plex DLNA Server

Plex Commercial Skipper

CrashUploader

Then retry remote access on Plex. Failed after 30 seconds.

Turned off Manually specified public port on my main server and let plex automatically assign a port, then checked to see if http://canyouseeme.org worked on those ports
