Here’s what I recommend:

- 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), 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 restarted the Plex server application, and enable remote access.
- Go to [http://www.canyouseeme.org](http://www.canyouseeme.org) and test port 47222.
- Go to [http://www.whatsmyip.org](http://www.whatsmyip.org) and compare that IP address with what your router WAN IP is and what Plex reports as your public IP.
