Has anyone got PIA and plex to work? i have added all kind of plex.exe apps via PIA settings (to not use plex via VPN) and ive added the port to be open on my router, but im still not able to get PIA to work with plex remote control.
Im connected to the Swedish server, and i have tried a couple other servers without any result. Im using the openVPN settings.
Anyone know how to make this to work?
I was recently able to get this setup using the Split-Tunneling feature in PIA that has been available since version 1.8.0(https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/changelog). The first thing I would recommend is to update your PIA client so it’s on the latest version, since that feature is relatively new.
To get my setup working I set up the port forwarding in my router as described in the Remote control setup instructions https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/. I forwarded an external port on my router (ex. 44444) to port 32400 on my Plex server. Then filled in the Manually specify public port: option in the Plex Remote Access settings to that port.
Then, in my PIA client in Settings > Network, I enabled Split Tunnel and added the Plex Media Server application and set it to “Bypass VPN”.
I set all other apps to “Use VPN”.
Then I re-connected to the VPN, and exited and restarted the Plex Media Server. FWIW I’m connected to US Washington DC
I then re-applied the Remote Access settings on the PMS and it connected. Verified that
I can stream in full quality from outside my home’s LAN.
Thanks, that seems to be working now.
