HELP! wd my cloud home and plex

I have a WD my cloud home and I enabled plex on it. It was all great and setting it up was a breeze until I got to the remote access part and its troubling me.

I’m trying to access it outside of my home network and it’s not letting me it keeps saying about more than one connection but I’m not sure. the NAS is plugged into a switch going from a repeater not sure if this affects it.

Would really appreciate the help

Need to setup a static IP and port forwarding rules within your router.

Hey

Thanks for the info where can we find the port forwarding rules within our router

You need to consult your router’s user manual, together with this page
https://support.plex.tv/articles/200931138-troubleshooting-remote-access/

A good info source is also https://portforward.com/

Did this fix the issue that you were having with access outside of your home

now Im getting an error stating unable to connect securely

Please tell what you did change.
Which web app are you using? try app.plex.tv

Version Version 1.16.3.1329

Remote Access Is Enable

it works if I click on go in unsecure only allow once

That is probably a second setting in your router.
Look for settings related to ‘DNS rebinding protection’ and make an exemption for the domain plex.direct.

If you see DNS Server as a setting, set it to Google’s DNS server (8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4)

Afterwards, reboot the router first and then after a few minutes the server as well.

Hello

Im still having the same issue remote access remains green for a few hours and then turns red

That very liklely means you did not change to a manual portforwarding.

Hi there, can you try disabling the [ ] Enable server support for IPv6 option in Plex Web and then restarting your MCH?

You can find it it under Settings > Network
