Sure, what OS are you using on the remote server? REF: [https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288586-Installation](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288586-Installation) Scroll down to the section called `On a Different Network` ---

If your remote server is Debian/Linux, after you’ve “dpkg -i plexmediaserverxxxxx.deb”, use putty or something similar to create a tunnel to 127.0.0.1:32400 Then open your browser, and go to [http://127.0.0.1:32400](http://127.0.0.1:32400) You can admin it from there. ---
