There are at least a couple of feature suggestions which cover implementing (more complete) IPv6 support: > [@Ipv6 support for myplex](https://forums.plex.tv/t/ipv6-support-for-myplex/36520): > > Hi, I just ran across this post [http://forums.plexapp.com/topic/64389-publish-server-via-ipv6/](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/64389-publish-server-via-ipv6/ "Link: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/64389-publish-server-via-ipv6/") and since I didn't find any feature request for it yet here it is. slight_smile   I know since this is aws wonderland there is no ipv6 support for ec2 instances yet. Except you do it via the load balancer which has ipv6 support. But an api call to myplex to store the ipv6 address of the server is all that is needed atm slight_smile Well and probably some fixes in the clients.     EDIT: BNO did a add few more infos: … > [@PLEX Server—Remote Access through IPv6 or Built in VPN to Bypass ISP CGNat and double NAT](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-server-remote-access-through-ipv6-or-built-in-vpn-to-bypass-isp-cgnat-and-double-nat/672902): > > Sadly most ISP in germany are locking users IPv4 behind CGNat with a very complicated process and a big price tag for a Static IP Address. That means all PLEX Server—Remote Access functionalities are no longer usable or me as a PlexPass user. please provide a workaround perhaps using a VPN Tool or using IPv6 to access the server from outside the network. I mean WDMyCloud achieved full out-of-network access without any custom network settings. surely there is a way to replicate that with Plex Though, the second is more-or-less a duplicate of the first. * * * I say “more complete” above because Plex does support IPv6 in a couple of ways: - Plex servers do publish their IPv6 addresses if configured to support IPv6 (network settings on the server). - Certain client/apps _do_ in fact support IPv6 connections. Specifically, what are now considered to be the “legacy” iOS/iPadOS apps will happily discover, and connect to, Plex media servers over IPv6. Unfortunately that is no longer the case with the “new experience” apps; it needs to be added to those. If you’re curious as to exactly what connection information your server is publishing to Plex, you can access the ‘resources’ endpoint: `https://plex.tv/api/resources?includeIPv6=1&includeHttps=1&X-Plex-Token=your_token_here` You can find your token a couple of different ways.
