My new ISP is in the “Double NAT” scenario, but they issue out public IPv6 IP addresses like crazy. So I decided to move away from my VPN tunnel with port forwarding and try to get this working with ipv6. I have enabled ipv6 on my server and allowed 32400 through my firewall. I tested from another network (4g and work) and I was able to access https://[ipv6\_address]:32400 with no problems after enable “IPv6 support” in the general server (Advanced) settings. SO everything appears to be working, but when I log into [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) remotely and check the settings, remote access is still trying to use the ipv4 address. Can plex not handle remote access over ipv6? When I load [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) remotely, I can still stream, but it is quite slow and streams at a much lower quality (Not quite sure how plex manages to stream data at all without remote access). If it is not possible, I will push my traffic back through my VPN tunnel if i have to, I was just hoping that I could have plex able to run at my full bandwidth if possible. Thanks! ---

IPv6 remote access is unfortunately not possible, yet. ---
