Install help - non private ip range network

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

I can tell you right now, having a non-private home LAN IP range is going to drive you nuts.

Your only recourse is to use a SSH tunnel.

In the case of the Synology:

  1. Control Panel - Terminal & SNMP - Enable SSH
  2. Using Putty or SSH, you will need to a) Login to the NAS as user admin and port forward 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 (Putty will show it as L8888 I believe for ‘Local’)
  3. If using SSH itself ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 -l admin ip.addr.of.syno
  4. sign in and let the shell session sit idle, we only need the tunnel.
  5. Now, in an in-cognito window, open http://127.0.0.1:8888/web
  6. This will bring you to the Got It and Sign In windows.
  7. Proceed through until you arrive at the dashboard.

Should you ever need to connect with PMS again and re-claim/re-authenticate, you will need do this.

If you can make the home LAN a proper RFC-1918 LAN, you are much better served. I had always thought RFC-1918 LAN addressing was common in your part of the world.
