All set correctly, br0 (host), fixed IP address etc. But I think I know what is going on. Browsing again through my router's settings, I went through the VPN client (I have a permanent OpenVPN client connecting to PIA) settings and bingo, I noticed resemblance of the IP address in Plex with the VPN IP address. I have setup a quite a wide rule to route the traffic via that VPN tunnel. I guess, sometimes Plex must have got routed via the tunnel and picked up VPN client's IP address. My bad I turned the client off and I'll keep monitoring if the Plex's remote access remains on. Thanks!

I'm losing hope here. I tried to setup remote access but whatever I do, doesn't seem to work. I configured everything as per guides from Plex. Everything seems to work OK but after few minutes/hours, Plex seems to be getting wrong WAN IP address and everything stops. Sometimes, I noticed that it will switch to the correct address for some time and eventually fail again. I have a two eth interfaces, bridged together as br0. There is a static route defined for this interface already. I turned off uPnP on my router and created a manual port forwarding. Still nothing. I have no idea what top do. This should've been an easy exercise but turned to be a nightmare. Any ideas? BTW, the wrong WAN address, I have no idea what that is, I do not recall ever seeing this address before. Not my ISP range, not a LAN as my LAN traditionally starts with 192.168.x.x and the address is 188.212 range. Where does this bloody thing get this address from?!?

Recently I installed transmission-vpn. Painful process and template could definitely be improved. It's inconsistent, naming of parameters/variables and placement/grouping (like directories etc.) are a1ll over the place. Nevertheless, I managed to configure it and it works like a charm. Couple of the things I had to hack like OPENVPN_PROVIDER and OPENVPN_CONFIG. I use ExprexxVPN and docker supports it but it's missing from the default values. I played with defaults, set EXPRESSVPN and added ExpressVPN specific configs. So far so good. Except that at night the template reverts to it's defaults and both OPENVPN_PROVIDER and OPENVPN_CONFIG revert to original values (first values on the list). Also the download directory get (sometimes) messed up. Any ideas how to fix this? I switched off automatic updates so the container does not get restarted but the values have changed nevertheless. Also, what I do not understand is what are /mnt/user/T_Media/Torrent/ for? It seems to not have any use besides automatically creating the share. I am also confused by 3 separate Download parameters, I do understand container path /Downloads but what is /Download for? Not to mention /mnt/user/T_Media/Torrent/ Thanks!
