Server Version#: 1.12.1.38  
Player Version#:

I hope someone could help me with my issue:

_Firewall Rules:_

Any to Nginx (DMZ 172.16.16.16) port 443 SNAT  
Nginx (DMZ 172.16.16.16) to Plex (LAN 192.168.20.20) port 32400 SNAT

_Nginx Conf_:  
events {  
worker\_connections 1024;  
}

http{  
server {  
listen 80;  
if ($host = nginx.gotdns.ch) {  
return 301 https://$host$request\_uri;  
}  
}

server {  
listen 443 ssl;  
server\_name nginx.gotdns.ch;

#Cert Managed by Certbox  
ssl\_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/nginx.gotdns.ch/fullchain.pem; #Managed by Certbot  
ssl\_certificate\_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/nginx.gotdns.ch/privkey.pem; #Managed by Certbot  
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; #Managed by Certbot  
ssl\_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; #Managed by Certbot

```
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;

```

location / {  
proxy\_pass [https://192.168.20.20:32400](https://192.168.20.20:32400);  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
}  
}  
}

From Outside i could connect without any issue to my Plex Server and also the redirect is working:  
[https://nginx.gotdns.ch/web/index.html](https://nginx.gotdns.ch/web/index.html)

_Remote Access:_  
**And now my issue**  
the Plex Server told me fully accessible from outside to network and after a few minutes not available outside your network. Your server is signed in to Plex, but is not reachable from outside your network

Private 192.168.20.220 : 32400 178.195.80.80 : 443 Internet

And if I click an retry it works again for a few second or minutes.

Any idea?

I think i found the solution. Not the nginx was the problem it was the Plex Server with nginx.
