      Is it possible to use multiple Plex instances on the same server with different IP addresses by using a VPN in each VM instance?

        @dust1 you don't need a vpn to do this.. Just change the external port on your different plex installs. Then forward that port to your specific plex.

        So example 32400 goes to plex1 on say 192.168.1.100
        32401 goes to plex 2 on say 192.168.1.101

        etc. etc..

            @dust1 why do you need a vpn? What vpn are you using - it is not very common for a vpn service to provide unsolicited inbound traffic. Which you would need to setup on the vpn service your using.

            Your going to have to give some details of what exactly you wanting to accomplish, and which vpn services are you using - is this some vpn your running on some vps somewhere, or is it a vpn service?

            You could run as many plex servers you want - if you have multiple public IPs - not a problem to leverage them all.. But again vpn not required to do that, etc.. Trying to leverage use a vpn is going to complex it up - and again the vpn would need to support port forwarding and you would have to set that up with them - and there are not all that many of them that even support such a thing.

              Your VPN provider must support port forwarding to establish the connection and match the proper port.
