N66u+Qnap+Plex+PIAVpn

[jayel]

I am usually good at figuring out the network issues i have encountered in the past but this one has gotten the better of me.

What I have:

-Qnap TS-251 4gbRam 2x4TB Red drives

-Plex Media server running on the Qnap

-Asus N66u router, latest Merlin Firmware

-PIA VPN, setup on the router w/Openvpn

-Variety of mobile devices


What I would like:

-To run the VPN on the router fulltime while having remote access to PlexMediaServer on the QNAP. When the VPN is active, port 32400 is inaccessable remotely.



SITREP:

Just factory restored all devices to eliminate any tinkering that may have been in the way. I have tried all the previous recommendations posted throughout the interwebs and could not find the solution that works for me. I have just enough knowledge of the tools necessary to ssh into the devices and post scripts but i must be missing something.

My network looks like this:

FiberOptic ---N66U ---qnap ---Plex Media Server
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx---192.168.1.1 ---192.168.1.20 ---- 192.168.1.20:32400

Is it a possibility? I read so much over the past few weeks that leads me to believe that it is possible I just cant seem to find the magic.

TL DR Need the magic wand to set up VPN and Plex,

I have a similar issue that i have my synology NAS connected to the router.
I VPN tunneled my NAS, however now i cannot access my NAS remotely with port my ddns:5000.
I guess VPN changes the NAS port opened.
ANY solutions?
