Will Plex server work over 5G Internet? Someone sent this when asked why Plex wouldn’t work with 5G Internet. "This is an answer someone got from Telstra “The Telstra Home 5G service does not support servers. There is no public IPv4 IP address and the modem have there port forwarding disabled setttings disabled when in 4G/ 5G mode You could try turning on UPNP, (Network > UPNP IGD), which if working opens the required ports. I doubt that you will be able to connect to server even with UPNP turned on.”
Does this make sense to anyone. Or can someone to me whether Plex Server will work with 5G as it is a lot faster than NBN.
If it does work does anyone know the way to set it up? I don’t have 5G yet and don’t want to change if it doesn’t work.
I suppose it means Plex will generally work over a 5G based internet access. That still doesn’t prevent ISPs from throwing stones in your way and blocking that in some way (e.g. by locking their 5G network into some kind of CG-NAT)
Thanks for the reply. I have FTTN and get about 93mbps/35mbps. 5G broadband offers 315mbps/315mbps (although not available in my area yet). I expect an unhelpful reply from Telstra anyway, but that is the only info I can find of 5G broadband. I know it works differently to NBN, but in general should it work with 5G. It sound like the modems Telstra are talking about are just standard modems with 4G/5G capabilities, not dedicated 5G modems.
Sounds like they will use one modem to provide multiple services. Maybe mobile would be a redundancy link for a wired connection.
Mobile networks have migrated to cgnat, that’s reason they say:
Basically, your friends using 5G will be able to watch your movies (server behind FTTN) but if you try to put your server behind 5G, you’ll need to use Plex relays, so forget it.
Base on the reports, they are clearly inspecting the traffic. I used to work at a big Telco and we did inspect the traffic in the mobile network because they had products like “your Whatsapp calls won’t be charged toward your quota plan” and also to apply traffic shaping on P2P. In order to achieve that we had to get the signatures of traffic the same way an application firewall does, but it was it.
Optus is doing something way shady to the point where they are affecting https redirect. Red flag!
