I have two servers running Plex that are situated in two different apartments. Those apartments are connected via VPN, handled by a router also doing NAT for the internal networks. The challenge now is, that Plex defines either server to be "near-by", regardless of which apartment I'm in, thus never selecting lower transfer rates for the remote server.
Setup:
Apartment 1: 192.168.178.0/24 (internal network) + public IP from provider
Apartment 2: 192.168.179.0/24 (internal network) + public IP from provider
I've tried to set "Network>LAN Networks" in server settings to 192.168.178.0/24 and also 192.168.178.0/255.255.255.0 – both didn't do anything. Reading the docs I'd also assume, that it should work out of the box, as it then should only use the local subnetwork as near-by.
Any hints on how to configure this to have "near-by" and "remote" correctly defined?
