      I am having a little problem is getting my Plex through my VPN

      first I set up a a rule to allow my plex to access the outside world with no VPN
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwwczlvWw9Y
      and this works with no issues.

      I then when ahead and added my VPN, with PIA and again no problem I am able to access the outside world via my VPN.

      but when I look at my Plex I am getting the following error message

      I follow the attached link, minus the port creation as I didn't see were he used it.
      https://blog.linuxserver.io/2017/05/01/how-to-run-pfsense-with-pia-vpn-but-still-use-plex-remote-access/

      for you information, I have my OpenVPN + PIA client both on my PFSense and my PLEX is on a unraid server

      I have looked around and it looks like I have set up everything right but something is missing.
