jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 f13d336630 fix(vpn): enrol keith-phone-home and admit the WireGuard subnet to PiHole DNS
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m12s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Skipped
Add the at-home peer (10.90.0.3) and list ${WG_CLIENT_CIDR} in the PiHole
DNS frontends' loadBalancerSourceRanges. wg0 is a Cilium device, so tunnel
clients reach the source-range check untranslated; a LAN-only list is
predicted to drop their DNS. Adds an L0 guard that both ranges are present
and every range is RFC1918, and corrects the README's SNAT and IPv6 claims.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 92944486d1 feat(dns): publish public names as proxied CNAMEs to the Cloudflare Tunnel
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 45s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Skipped
Gateway target -> fc81938b-...cfargotunnel.com, --cloudflare-proxied globally,
L4 service publishers (unifi, crafty-mc) pinned DNS-only, Plex web UI and
Headlamp disowned (LAN/VPN-only). L0 internal-services-publish-no-public-dns
gains assertion (9) tying the Gateway target to the tunnel UUID, requiring
cloudflare-proxied=false on every service-source publisher, and keeping the
tunnel's 404 list and the unpublished set consistent. L2 dns-exposure fixture
opts out of proxying.

# L0 static check (offline, no cluster) — pihole-dns-source-ranges
# Serves: R-DNS-03 (LAN split-horizon DNS — spec docs/09).
#
# THE BUG CLASS THIS CLOSES. PiHole's LoadBalancer frontends are the only thing stopping it being
# an open resolver, and their `loadBalancerSourceRanges` is pulled in two opposite directions:
# * Too WIDE, and the resolver is open: a public range, or 0.0.0.0/0, in this list is the whole
# restriction gone, with nothing else in the path to catch it (the CiliumNetworkPolicy admits
# `world` on :53, because that is the only peer that can describe post-LoadBalancer traffic).
# * Too NARROW, and VPN DNS dies: wg0 is a Cilium kube-proxy-replacement device, so a tunnel
# client's query is load-balanced with its 10.90.0.x source intact, ahead of the iptables
# MASQUERADE. A LAN-only list is predicted to drop it as DROP_NOT_IN_SRC_RANGE, and the
# tunnel would still report a healthy handshake.
#
# GIVEN the repository as git tracks it,
# WHEN every type=LoadBalancer Service in namespace `pihole` is collected and each source range
# is resolved through cluster-vars (base value AND the prod overlay's replacement),
# THEN (1) the frontends exist and cover both udp/53 and tcp/53;
# (2) every frontend lists ${LAN_CIDR} and ${WG_CLIENT_CIDR};
# (3) every range resolves to a valid IPv4 CIDR inside RFC1918 — so no 0.0.0.0/0, no public
# range, and no unresolvable token that could hide one;
# AND (4) the check is NON-VACUOUS: a real checkout and a floor on the assertion count.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: that a query over the tunnel is actually answered. That needs a
# handshake from a real client; see platform/vpn-ingress/README.md.

title: Public DNS via the Cloudflare Tunnel (Phase 2) — proxied CNAMEs, Plex/Headlamp LAN-only, L0 guard
---
## What changed
One atomic change, so the conformance guard lands with the DNS flip.
- `platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`: the shared Gateway's `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target`
is now the literal `fc81938b-5855-47f1-8a27-6286f56dda93.cfargotunnel.com` (was
`wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}`). Comment block rewritten.
- `platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml`: `extraArgs: [--cloudflare-proxied]` (global, because
v0.23.0 reads per-object `cloudflare-proxied` from the route/Service, never the Gateway). The
public-target comment block rewritten, including the prefix-regression risk.
- `apps/vms/unifi/50-service-l4.yaml`, `platform/crafty/service-l4.yaml`:
`external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied: "false"` (L4 A records stay DNS-only). They
are the only `service`-source publishers in the tree and live (measured).
- Plex web UI LAN/VPN-only: `catalog/plex.yaml` `exposure: public` → `internal`; `apps/wave-0/plex.yaml`
re-rendered with the canonical command into a scratch dir and ONLY plex.yaml copied back. The
render diff is exactly +2 lines (`annotations: external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none`
on HTTPRoute plex-32400). No other golden moved, and nothing was onboarded (vm-demo/keycloak files
were not touched). ADVERTISE_IP, the L4 VIP .24 and `plex-remote.yaml` are untouched.
- Headlamp LAN/VPN-only: `controller: none` on the hand-authored `platform/headlamp/httproute.yaml`.
- `conformance/tests/l0-static/internal-services-publish-no-public-dns/check.sh`: header and
register prose updated; new assertion (9):
(9a) Gateway target == `<tunnel: from platform/cloudflared/config.yaml>.cfargotunnel.com`, and
`--cloudflare-proxied` is set; (9b) every `service`-source publisher has `cloudflare-proxied:
"false"` and no HTTPRoute opts out of proxying; (9c) no undisowned route names a hostname the
tunnel 404s, the only `service` publishers of a 404'd name are the declared L4 set
{unifi, crafty-mc}, and every disowned route's hostname IS 404'd by the tunnel (lists kept
consistent both ways); (9d) plex and headlamp pinned disowned. Its `chainsaw-test.yaml` gap prose
updated.
- `conformance/tests/l2-behavioral/dns-exposure/chainsaw-test.yaml`: fixture Service gets
`cloudflare-proxied: "false"`, else the global flag proxies it and the exact-IP poll fails.
- Docs: `platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml` header (wan. is WireGuard-only), `platform/externaldns/README.md`,
`platform/gateway/README.md`, `runbooks/plex-remote-access.md`, `runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md`
(Phase 2 done; operator step to close WAN tcp/80+443 and keep udp/51820 + tcp/32400; rotation
now also swaps the Gateway UUID; rollback path).
## What I verified
- external-dns v0.23.0 source, read at the tag: `source/gateway.go` takes target overrides from
`gw.Annotations` and provider-specific (incl. `cloudflare-proxied`) from the ROUTE's annotations;
`annotations.SetAnnotationPrefix` re-derives `CloudflarePrefix`, so the alpha-prefixed key is the
one read here; `provider/cloudflare` `shouldBeProxied` starts from `--cloudflare-proxied` and a
parsed `"false"` annotation overrides it.
- (8b) only forbids `annotation-prefix` / `enable-legacy-annotation-prefix` in extraArgs; a mutation
confirmed `--cloudflare-proxied` passes and `--annotation-prefix=x/` fails.
- The L0 check passes (116 assertions) and each new assertion FAILS on its mutation: Gateway target
back to wan (9a), flag removed (9a), unifi proxied "true" (9b), headlamp undisowned (9c,9d), plex
golden undisowned (9c,9d,(1)), jackett removed from the tunnel's 404 list (9c).
`cloudflared-ingress-rules` still passes; `render.py --selftest` PASS.
- Live, read-only (kubectl k3s-prod, ~23:55Z): 17 HTTPRoutes; the six internal apps carry
`controller: none`; plex and headlamp do not (yet); the only Services with an external-dns
hostname are crafty/crafty-l4-tcp and unifi/unifi-l4-tcp; Gateway target is currently
`wan.home.keithjackson.dev`.
- Toolbox gate result: see the PR description (rc and skipped stages quoted there).
## What I did NOT verify
- Anything after merge: that external-dns actually UPDATEs the eight public names to proxied CNAMEs
to the tunnel, DELETEs plex + headlamp and their TXT, and leaves unifi/crafty-mc/wan untouched.
Expected effect is listed in the PR; the PM must read external-dns logs and `dig @1.1.1.1`.
- A rendered HelmRelease: I read the chart 1.23.0 `templates/deployment.yaml` (a list `extraArgs`
is emitted item-by-item via `tpl . $ | quote`), but did not `helm template` it.
- kubectl OIDC from nodes: nodes resolve publicly, so `keycloak.` discovery/JWKS now goes through
Cloudflare + the tunnel. No `oidc-ca-file` is set (system roots), so the edge cert should validate,
but Cloudflare bot/WAF settings on that path are untested.
- RISK: if the annotation prefix stops being honoured at runtime again (11-07 incident class),
`target` is ignored and every name becomes a PROXIED A record at 192.168.2.20, while internal
names publish. Assertion (8) only keeps the tree and `values.annotationPrefix` consistent; it
cannot catch a controller that ignores the flag. No runtime alert exists for it.
- The router WAN 80/443 close is an operator step, not done. The Pi-hole wildcard trim is a later PR.
- Follow-up: spec requirement IDs for this (proposed R-DNS-04/05, R-SEC-04) once the spec ADR merges;
`platform/pm-agent/README.md` and a comment in `catalog/pihole.yaml` still describe the wan. CNAME.

branch: fix/wg-home-peer-pihole-sources
title: Enrol keith-phone-home and admit the WireGuard subnet to PiHole's DNS frontends
---
## What changed
- **`platform/vpn-ingress/peers.conf`**: new peer `keith-phone-home`, `10.90.0.3/32`, key generated
on the phone. It is the `home` half of a two-tunnel profile (Endpoint `192.168.2.10:51820`),
because the router has no hairpin NAT and `wan.` is unusable from inside the house.
- **`apps/wave-0/pihole-dns.yaml`**: `${WG_CLIENT_CIDR}` added after `${LAN_CIDR}` on both
`pihole-dns-udp` and `pihole-dns-tcp`. This file is hand-written, not rendered (`catalog/render.py`
only lists it in `EXTRA_UNITS`), so it is the source of truth and `--emit-waves` was not run.
`catalog/pihole.yaml` changes in one comment only, so nothing renders differently.
- **New L0 guard `conformance/tests/l0-static/pihole-dns-source-ranges`** (whole-repo scope,
R-DNS-03): every PiHole LoadBalancer Service lists both tokens, and every range resolves through
cluster-vars (base and prod overlay) to RFC1918.
- **`platform/vpn-ingress/README.md`**: corrected "clients arrive SNATed" (false for LoadBalancer
VIPs) and the IPv6 claim (Android's `GoBackend` blocks IPv6 for a single-peer default route);
documented the home/away pattern, why `wan.` fails from inside, and the prod-1 dependency.
Rollout on merge: the `wg-peers` ConfigMap hash changes (`m9kcckcb5t` -> `29mf6k867t`), so the
DaemonSet rolls, `maxUnavailable: 1`, `maxSurge: 0`, one node at a time in an order the controller
chooses. Each roll deletes and recreates that node's `wg0`, so an established session on that node
drops and must re-handshake. `keith-phone` has no session today (see below), so nothing is
interrupted in practice.
**The one risk worth watching:** `wg0` is in Cilium's auto-detected device list and `devices` is
still unpinned. On 2026-10-06 a crash-looping `wg0` churned that list and all three nodes lost their
main-table default route. A rollout is one delete/create per node, not a loop, so it should not
repeat that, but after merge check `ip route get 1.1.1.1` on each node.
The Service change is an in-place update: same VIP, same Service objects, no pod restart.
Checked on the rest of the path and left unchanged:
- Gateway VIP `.20` (`gateway/cilium-gateway-shared`): no source ranges, live. Nothing needed.
- `pihole-allow-lan-dns-ingress` admits `world` on :53, which covers an untranslated 10.90.0.x
source. `platform/vpn-ingress/networkpolicy.yaml` does not apply to a hostNetwork pod.
- No L0 check pinned these ranges to the LAN; none needed updating.
Flagged, not changed (out of scope):
- `runbooks/vpn-remote-access.md` "Known limitations" repeats both corrected claims, and step 3 of
its verification table says the Gateway sees a `host`-identity source.
- `platform/vpn-ingress/daemonset.yaml`'s header repeats the SNAT claim.
- `clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml`'s substitution-coverage comment does not list
`WG_CLIENT_CIDR` under apps-wave-0. The variable is defined and substituted there regardless.
- `peers.conf` still says "No peers enrolled yet" above the enrolled peers.
- PiHole's NodePorts are not covered by source ranges (already acknowledged in `pihole-dns.yaml`).
Tunnel clients can reach node addresses, so they can reach those too; they are enrolled devices.
- Pinning Cilium's `devices` remains the open hardening for the churn risk above.
## What I verified
Live, read-only, 2026-11-08:
- `cilium-dbg status` on one agent: `KubeProxyReplacement: True [eno1 ..., wg0 10.90.0.1, tun0 ...]`
and `Masquerading: BPF [eno1, wg0, tun0]`. So `wg0` really is a load-balancing device.
- `pihole-dns-tcp` and `-udp` carry `ranges=[192.168.2.0/24]`; no other LoadBalancer Service has
source ranges. Live `cluster-vars`: `WG_CLIENT_CIDR=10.90.0.0/24`, `LAN_CIDR=192.168.2.0/24`.
- `wg show wg0 latest-handshakes` on all three pods: `keith-phone` = `0`.
- `wan.home.keithjackson.dev` resolves publicly to a single A record (via 1.1.1.1).
Offline, in the pinned toolbox:
- `flux envsubst --strict` renders both Services to `[192.168.2.0/24, 10.90.0.0/24]`.
- `kubectl kustomize platform/vpn-ingress`: `wg-peers-m9kcckcb5t` on the old `peers.conf`,
`wg-peers-29mf6k867t` on the new one.
- Guard mutation test, each restored afterwards. Baseline passes (22 assertions, 2 Services). All
seven fail with rc 1 and a named message: WG range dropped from one Service; `0.0.0.0/0` added;
`8.8.8.0/24` added; `WG_CLIENT_CIDR` made public in cluster-vars; prod overlay sets `LAN_CIDR` to
`0.0.0.0/0`; ranges block removed; undefined token added.
- The Android claim was read from upstream `GoBackend.java` (`wireguard-android`, master): the
`allowFamily` calls are skipped when `sawDefaultRoute && config.getPeers().size() == 1`.
- Gate (pinned toolbox, from this worktree, on the committed tree): **rc 3, UNDETERMINED, not
green.** `gitea-settings` is the only stage counted as not run (no token locally). `conformance`
(L2/L3) also skipped as the declared no-cluster gap. `spec-immutability`, `decisions-log`, `lint`,
`l0` (including the new guard), `render-golden` and `l1` passed. `approval-policy` reported N/A
offline; it will be red in CI until the operator overrides, because `conformance/**` is sensitive.
- `git merge-tree` against `feat/pihole-explicit-lan-names` (#157): no conflicts.
## What I did NOT verify
- **`DROP_NOT_IN_SRC_RANGE` was NOT observed live.** It is a prediction from Cilium's source. Only
the `wg0` device membership was measured; the drop itself has never been seen.
- **Full-tunnel behaviour was NOT observed live**, on either profile. **No handshake has ever been
recorded for any peer**: `keith-phone` reads `0` on all three pods (a counter that resets when a
pod restarts, last 22 days ago, so it covers only the time since; earlier entries here also
record none).
- That tunnel DNS works after this change, including the reply path from a backend on another node
and from one on the ingress node. That needs the phone: `dig` over the tunnel, while watching
`cilium-dbg monitor --type drop`.
- That the Gateway serves tunnel clients. Its source is predicted to be `world`, as for a LAN
browser, which is what the apps admit; not tested.
- That the new peer's key is the one on the phone. I copied the public key from the brief.
- That the rollout leaves node default routes intact. Reasoned from the 2026-10-06 incident being
a loop, not measured.
- That a LAN client is unaffected while the Service's source ranges are updated. Expected, not
measured.
- IPv6 behaviour on any non-Android client.
- That the WAN forward targets prod-1: it is off-repo.

- The `target` annotation is on the **shared Gateway** (`platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`), so it
applies to every route that publishes at all. `internal` routes (`controller: none`) still publish
nothing.
- `ddns.yaml` runs `favonia/cloudflare-ddns` in this namespace with the same `cloudflare-api-token`.
It detects the WAN IP through Cloudflare's trace endpoint, so the pod **must not** carry
`egress-class: vpn`.
- The `target` annotation is on the **shared Gateway** (`platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`); external-dns
reads it from the Gateway only, so it applies to every route that publishes at all. Its UUID must
equal `tunnel:` in `platform/cloudflared/config.yaml` (L0 check
`internal-services-publish-no-public-dns` (9a)).
- `--cloudflare-proxied` (HelmRelease `extraArgs`) orange-clouds every record by default — the only
practical lever, because v0.23.0 reads the per-object `cloudflare-proxied` annotation from the
route/Service, never the Gateway. **Every `service`-source publisher must carry
`external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied: "false"`** (L4 ports cannot ride the HTTP
proxy); (9b) fails the gate otherwise.
- `internal` routes (`controller: none`) still publish nothing. Plex's web UI and Headlamp joined that
set on 2026-11-08 (LAN/VPN-only); the tunnel also 404s every such name (9c/9d).
- Public answers are Cloudflare anycast **A and AAAA** — Cloudflare's edge, not an origin address.
- LAN and pods resolve `*.home.keithjackson.dev` to the Gateway VIP via PiHole and CoreDNS
(split-horizon) and never use the public path.
- **Nodes resolve through public DNS** (`node_baseline_dns_servers`), so from a node, the apiserver's
OIDC issuer `keycloak.home.keithjackson.dev` resolves to the WAN IP. kubectl SSO therefore relies on
the router hairpinning (NAT reflection) WAN:443 back to the Gateway.
- **Nodes resolve through public DNS** (`node_baseline_dns_servers`), so from a node the apiserver's
OIDC issuer `keycloak.home.keithjackson.dev` now resolves to Cloudflare and its discovery/JWKS
fetches go through the tunnel (publicly trusted edge cert; no `oidc-ca-file` is configured). The
router NAT hairpin is no longer on that path.
Check: `dig +short @1.1.1.1 plex.home.keithjackson.dev` → `wan.home.keithjackson.dev.` then the WAN IP;

# RFC1918), so nothing published here was reachable from the internet. Two facts constrained the
# fix, and both still hold:
# * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` is read in v0.21.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY
# from the GATEWAY (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(
# gw.Annotations)`) and from a ListenerSet listener — NEVER from an HTTPRoute. A target on the
# shared Gateway therefore moves EVERY gateway-sourced record at once.
# * The home WAN IP is residential and can change, so a literal IP in Git would rot.
# History: until 2026-10-03 every gateway-sourced record answered the Gateway VIP (RFC1918);
# from 2026-10-03 they were CNAMEs to `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (DNS-only, the home WAN IP, with the
# router forwarding tcp/80+443 to the VIP). Both published an origin address of ours. Now:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: <tunnel-uuid>.cfargotunnel.com` on the shared
# Gateway. `target` is read in v0.23.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY from the GATEWAY
# (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(gw.Annotations)`),
# never from an HTTPRoute, so this one value moves every gateway-sourced record at once.
# * `--cloudflare-proxied` below orange-clouds every record by default. It is GLOBAL because
# that is the only practical lever: v0.23.0 reads the per-object `cloudflare-proxied`
# annotation from the ROUTE (or Service), never the Gateway (source/gateway.go:
# `annotations.ProviderSpecificAnnotations(annots)` with `annots := meta.Annotations` of the
# route), so a Gateway-level opt-in does not exist. A CNAME to cfargotunnel.com MUST be
# proxied — DNS-only it resolves to nothing routable — so "proxied by default" is the right
# default for this zone's gateway names.
# * The provider honours a per-object `"false"` over the global default (provider/cloudflare
# shouldBeProxied: ParseBool of the annotation overrides proxiedByDefault). The key it reads
# is `<annotationPrefix>cloudflare-proxied` (annotations.SetAnnotationPrefix re-derives
# CloudflarePrefix), i.e. `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied` here.
#
# THE `service` SOURCE MUST OPT OUT. The L4 LoadBalancers (crafty-mc, unifi) publish an A record
# at their own LB VIP; Cloudflare's proxy is HTTP(S)-only, so a proxied A for a game or UniFi
# inform port is broken by construction. Each carries `cloudflare-proxied: "false"` and stays
# DNS-only, exactly as before this change. conformance/tests/l0-static/
# internal-services-publish-no-public-dns (assertion 9b) FAILS on any `service`-source publisher
# without it, so a new L4 Service cannot silently become a proxied record.
#
# The operator's answers: (a) yes, ALL of them — the five `exposure: public` apps AND the admin
# UIs (auth, crafty, grafana, headlamp, the apex), which sit behind Keycloak / oauth2-proxy;
# (b) the address is kept current IN-CLUSTER. Implementation:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` on the shared Gateway, so
# each published name becomes a CNAME to that one hostname;
# * platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml (favonia/cloudflare-ddns) keeps `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` an A
# record at the current WAN IP. That record has no external-dns TXT registry entry, so this
# instance never owns or garbage-collects it.
# Internal services are unchanged: their routes carry `controller: none` (above), which is
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. The `service` source (the L4
# LoadBalancers crafty-mc, unifi) does not read the Gateway's annotation and still publishes its
# LB VIP. Whether those should go public is a separate, still-open question.
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. Plex's web UI and Headlamp

# external-dns TXT registry entry and is untouched; it now serves only WireGuard udp/51820.
#
# THE RISK THIS ADDS, AND WHAT GUARDS IT. If the annotation prefix ever stops being honoured
# again (the 2026-11-07 v0.23.0 incident), `target` is ignored and every name falls back to the
# Gateway's own address — and with this flag it would be published as a PROXIED A record at
# ${GATEWAY_VIP} (RFC1918; Cloudflare 1003/522s for every public name) while `controller: none`
# is also ignored and internal names publish. Assertion (8) of the L0 check above ties the

address (`platform/externaldns/README.md`), and the router has no hairpin NAT, so a LAN client that
sends to it never comes back in through the port-forward. The Cloudflare Tunnel is no way round: it
carries HTTP(S) to the Gateway and WireGuard is UDP to a node, so `wan.` has to stay DNS-only and
`away` has to keep using it.
**`home` depends on `k3s-prod-1`.** Its Endpoint is that node's address, with no failover: if
prod-1 is down, `home` cannot handshake even though the other two listeners are healthy. The fix
is client-side: edit the tunnel's Endpoint to `192.168.2.11` or `.12`, since every node answers the

UUID equals `tunnel:` in `config.yaml`. **So from Phase 2 on, these alerts firing DOES mean public
users are down** — every public HTTP(S) name depends on the connectors.
### After the Phase 2 merge — operator step (router)
Once `dig +short @1.1.1.1 <public name>` returns Cloudflare anycast addresses for the public names
(and external-dns logs show the UPDATEs), nothing legitimate reaches the WAN on 80/443 any more:
1. **Close** the router's WAN **tcp/80** and **tcp/443** port-forwards to the Gateway VIP.
2. **Keep** WAN **udp/51820** (WireGuard → `wan.home.keithjackson.dev`) and WAN **tcp/32400**
(Plex remote streaming via plex.tv; `runbooks/plex-remote-access.md`).
3. Verify from off-LAN (phone on cellular): a public name still loads (via the tunnel), and
`curl -m5 https://<WAN IP>/` now times out instead of answering.

## The Plex web UI is LAN/VPN-only (2026-11-08)
When public DNS moved to the Cloudflare Tunnel (`runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md`, Phase 2), the
operator kept **Plex off the tunnel**. `catalog/plex.yaml` is now `exposure: internal`, so the
`plex.home.keithjackson.dev` route carries `external-dns ... controller: none` and its public record
is deleted; the tunnel also 404s `plex` and `plex-vip`. On the LAN (and over WireGuard) the web UI
at `https://plex.home.keithjackson.dev` works exactly as before through PiHole's split-horizon answer.
**Remote streaming is unaffected** — it never used that name. It is the path below: plex.tv hands
clients the `plex.direct` URL (`ADVERTISE_IP`) for the L4 VIP `192.168.2.24`, reached through the
WAN **tcp/32400** forward. That forward must stay open when the WAN 80/443 forwards are closed after
the tunnel cut-over. Remote users use app.plex.tv, not our hostname.
