My Internet Went Down… My Backup Worked (Until Plex Ruined It)

My internet went down while I was staying at a cabin in the mountains… but luckily I came prepared. I brought my travel router and VPN setup so I could still connect back to my home network and my data center rack. Everything was working perfectly… until Plex decided to ruin the plan. In this video I show how I bring my own internet anywhere using a travel router, VPN tunnel, and my home lab so I always have access to my files and servers no matter where I am. If you enjoy home networking, self-hosting, VPN setups, and home lab projects, this one’s for you. 💻 My Travel Network Gear (Amazon Affiliate Links) Travel Router (Slate 7) ➡️ https://amzn.to/4rTOYwX GL.iNet Travel Router(Beryl AX) ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bsEBdI Portable Ethernet Cable ➡️ https://amzn.to/3OUWCsA USB-C Power Bank for Travel Networking ➡️ https://amzn.to/4rXsMlJ Portable Router Case ➡️ https://amzn.to/4cANCm3 Compact Network Tool Kit ➡️ https://amzn.to/4sCsCQJ USB to Ethernet Adapter ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bdOMl2 Travel Network Switch ➡️ https://amzn.to/4ulLMvW 🖥 My Home Lab Gear 10G Network Card (RJ-45) ➡️ https://amzn.to/4lerKPP SFP+ DAC Cable (Green) ➡️ https://amzn.to/4rkEHZJ Cat6 Ethernet Cable ➡️ https://amzn.to/4lfJDh9 Network Rack 12U ➡️ https://amzn.to/4rmD1iq Ubiquiti Switch (similar to what I use) ➡️ https://amzn.to/4uhOJxs Mini PC for Router / Firewall ➡️ https://amzn.to/4d5EpST 🧠 Software / Services I Use WireGuard VPN TrueNAS Scale Proxmox pfSense / OPNsense Plex Media Server 🌐 Connect With GotWire Website https://www.gotwirellc.com Business Email gotwire@gotwirellc.com Discord Community https://discord.gg/aywsH72veY 📺 About GotWire GotWire is all about home networking, fiber installs, self-hosting, home labs, and real-world tech setups.
