Hi guys,

I know that I can’t do it with the GUI interface of Plex media server, But I have Plex media server installed on my NAS, I have 2 nic on my NAS. I have a VPN running and it connect disconnect very oftenly in a day so as you surely know my plex media server stop to be reachable from outside after the first disconnect/connect cycle !

As you know if Plex media server was using my real public IP instead of my VPn one everything would work flawlessly.  
My question I HAVE a DDNS registered from my router who always point to my REAL public IP is there a way to tell Plex media server to use this DDNS to get my public IP ?. If not PLEASE add this feature to it, it’s really easy to do !

Best regards,

Sylvain

Not duable from PMS as is.

And can’t talk about easy or not, since I like you, don’t know the code behind it 😉

But when said, go here, and describe a user case, and then I’m sure Plex will evaluate the req

Hi Dane22,

Sorry for the VERY late answer, I’m currently trying custom URL to see if it can fix the VPN problem !  
Thank’s for pointing me to the feature categories !

Best regards,

Sylvain
