How to Get Out of Relay Mode?

General Discussions
1

I ran Yum the other day and updated quite a few things on my CentOS 7 box. Now Plex either shows that I have no content or it shows it is running in relay mode. Users outside my house just see no content. Can someone please tell me how to get back to working directly. Thanks.

Check your remote access settings. Here’s what I go by:

Set up a static IP for your Plex server.
Go into your router and create a manual port forward rule for port 47222 (just an example but don’t use 32400), for protocol TCP, that points to your Plex server’s IP and port 32400.
Save that and power cycle your router.
Go into the Plex server remote access settings, tick the box next to manual port, enter 47222, click apply, then disable remote access, shut down and restart the Plex server application, and enable remote access.
Go to http://www.canyouseeme.org and test port 47222.
Go to http://www.whatsmyip.org and compare that IP address with what your router WAN IP is and what Plex reports as your public IP.

I couldn’t set the port manually. It’s already set to 32400 so it wouldn’t let me save or set it.
Nevertheless I have restarted the server.
I have the port forwarded on the router.
canyouseeme doesn’t see me. Maybe because netstat -a shows no listener on 47222.

Thanks for the help. Happy to hear any other suggestions may have.

He’s dead Jim. You killed him.

You can’t configure the Plex remote access setting for the manual external port?

No, because now the windows app shows there server as unavailable. Here’s what netstat has to say about it:

[root@localhost ~]# netstat -a |grep 32400
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32400 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost:32400 localhost:45734 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 localhost:45734 localhost:32400 ESTABLISHED
