iPad trouble logging in through WireGuard connection

[C.S. 95]

Hi. I put emby on my friend's ipad and it works great with a wireguard connection using a local address direct to my network. Only problem is sometimes after a period of inactivity the wireguard connection gets out of kilter and needs to be reset. If my friend attempts to log in to emby while the WG connection is out of sorts, emby falls back to the remote SSL connection, for which my friend is not authorized. If she toggles WG off and on, then tries to log in again, emby keeps defaulting to the remote address, and she can't get in. Only by closing emby completely or restarting the ipad can she get back in when this happens.

Anyway it's a bit of an inconvenience and I'm wondering if anything can be done. I'm thinking a client-side option to force local / remote would fix it, but if there's a simpler solution, that would be great too.
