Has anyone come close to a solution?

I think I finally got mine working. Basically, I had to:

  1. Disable UPnP
  2. Remove every entry that UPnP had ever created with 32400 in it, like @DoveMan1970 recommended. It doesn’t let you mass select and delete, so be prepared for tedious work if there are a lot. I had tons.
  3. Create a port forwarding entry for my mac mini. This wasn’t previously possible until I deleted all the UPnP entries.
  4. Set up the manually specified 32400 port in the Plex server settings. Not sure if this was necessary, but figured it wouldn’t hurt since the port forwarding was set to 32400.

That seemed to finally do it for me. Of course, it all goes to crap if I enable VPN on the mini, but whatever.

I have tried all of these steps and none of them work. Anyone have a better solution?

I just went through and deleted 50 UPnP rules, then added a manual port forward rule, and it worked. The Plex settings said it wasn’t available outside my network, but I installed the app on my phone, turned off the wifi, and it worked fine.

24

I just ran through all of this as well. What finally is working for me as of now, I deleted all the auto generated UPnP entries, then setup a manual port forward, restarted Plex, and connected on my phone on cell service. Plex admin still does say it is unavailable as well yes, but looks to be working.

I had over 300 to delete.
I just let the following script run for awhile. You can run the following in the console by pressing F12 , clicking console and pasting the following code.

for(var i = 1; i < $('.remove_btn').length; i++) {
  (function(i){
    setTimeout(function(){
      $('.remove_btn')[1].click()
      console.log('click '+i);
  }, 6000 * i)
 })(i);
}

Having this same issue with my new setup. Love the javascript there to get rid of them, that’s hackery at its finest.

Not usually a proponent of folks copy/pasting JS into their console, but this one is legit.

Will test tomorrow against the “it says it’s not working but it actually is” situation.

I’ve had a hell of a time with this. Hooked up through WAN using a QNAP NAS server
Port Forwarding List
LAN IP Protocol Ports Forwarded Remote Defined
192.168.x.x TCP or UDP 32400 192.168.1.xxx 32400
and IPv4 Firewall added a rule: Plex Server 32400 TCP/ UDP.
did a DCHP Reservation.
No DMZ hosting
Finally I turned on IPv6 firewall and then went to IPv6 WAN setting and turned on.
changed 2. Select the WAN IPv6 connection protocol. to DCHPv6. (hadn’t tried options yet)

I finally got a green check mark on my PC!!! Cell only for plex app. Hell yeah!!! After days of screwing with it… Hope it works for others. so far so good.

I ran into the same problem. I read everyone’s comments and the only thing that worked for me was to remove ALL the 32400 port entries under the UPnP NAT-T List. Afterwards I successfully created the port forwarding rule for 32400 (start and end). On the Plex server i did check the manual specific port (32400) and remote access was green again. I verified it at http://canyouseeme.org/ and it was successful.
