    you can use a custom logger msg within the script , and look for that message in the logs. i.e logger "this is my openvpn-event script . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . " My setup Modem Router 1 (WAN IP: from ISP, LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 subnet 192.168.1.0/24) Router 2(WAN IP...

    It should grow enormous only if the plex keeps changing IPs too frequently, but in this case I havent had more than 5-6 IPs over the course of 2-3 months , so haven't had issues. may be a separate script can be setup to clean up every week ! If plex could let you choose IP to reach the server...

    public IP in the plex is a good sign, now that the static route script is working, the next part is port 32400 forward from modem to router and router to plex machine. try turning off the bridge mode in tp-link , and let it assign 192.168.0.2 for the Asus router on lan port. you can also try ...

    now from the device on 4g network , open browser , type http://ISP_IP:32400/web , that will make sure the route to your plex server is clear and open.

    so plex failed to see the ISP IP with VPN, than i guess the problem is with Plex_StaticRoute.sh change DNS4 and DNS5 to your ISP DNS servers, restart router, ssh to merlin using putty , manually execute Plex_StaticRoute a few times with a couple of minutes gap. you can also add route plex.tv...

    that is out of question , without VPN it will see ISP IP. I want to know what IP it sees with VPN. Turn on VPN , restart the router just to make sure everything is working with VPN and scripts from the log , restart plex server and then check public ip in plex remote access ?

    I see, so if you can access plex from remote IP , when VPN is turned down , than you may not have to route anything in TP-Link . try to find out the issue , piece by piece , to narrow down . I am no expert myself I had hard time getting mine to work. spent days reading through forums

    is your router 1 a modem or modem/router combo ? connect a device (laptop) to router 1 , and see if you can access plex (192.168.1.32:32400) from 192.168.0.0/24 subnet (laptop) ?

    I see that you have forwarded 32400 in router 2 (192.168.1.0/24 subnet)to plex machine ( 192.168.1.32), Did you also forward the port 32400 in the router 1 (192.168.0.0/24 subnet) to the WAN IP of the second router (192.168.0.2)

    Don't worry about LAN or WAN settings yet, first figure out if the script (openvpn-event) are being executed when they need to be. from your log , it seems that cron job is setup correctly , and the Plex_StaticRoute.sh is being called as it should, try and figure out if the openvpn-event is...

    Did you make sure only Plex_StaticRoute.sh has " .sh " , extension and other two does not have any extension. Also did you apply read write permissions after copying the scripts to script folder. if your VPN interface is tun11 for sure than you do not need to edit the script. tun1$VPNID is...

    You will need 3 scripts from the first post openvpn-event , services-start and Plex_StaticRoute.sh in your scripts folder (screenshot attached). Answer 1: You will still need to keep the port forward, Plex remote access needs to see your WAN IP after your VPN connection is established...

    I thought at first it would not be too hard to implement few scripts I found here and there on forums and reddit, but I guess I was wrong. Selective routing seems more complex now that I understand a bit more while trying to implement my own. I hope this won't discourage me from learning more...
