Bypass CGNAT for Plex via your own Wireguard VPN on a VPS

Intro

I just recently switched to an ISP that uses CGNAT. I needed a way to access my Plex server remotely now that I didn't have a public IPv4 address. Thankfully for most of my other web hosted projects, I was able to use Cloudflare tunnels. But it's ambigous if Cloudflare is okay with you using Tunnels for Plex traffic.

Instead people suggested buying a VPS and hosting a VPN (like Wireguard) to route your traffic through. I couldn't find a complete guide to do this. I struggled for a couple days with trial and error until I finally found a configuration that worked. I wanted to document this for anyone else in the same situation (and future me).

Instructions taken from https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-usb-passthrough-zwave-stick.30058/ and addtional information added for clarity.

Plug in you USB ZWave stick and find the Major:Minor Numbers:

root@proxmox01:~# lsusb

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

Define the proxy in the CLI :

$ export https_proxy='87.248.188.202:8080'
$ export http_proxy='87.248.188.202:8080'

	public function search(Request $request)
	{

	$res = (new BestCategory)->newQuery();

	$q = $request->q;
	$q = explode(' ', $q);

	$res->where('title', 'like', '%'.$q[0].'%')->orWhere('description', 'like', '%'.$q[0].'%');
