Server Version#: 1.14.1.5488
Player Version#: 3.89.2
I’ve been trying to let my family access my server and share my content. However every time plex service is restarted, or sometimes just randomly it will show the server as “indirect” on the remote side (outside network). In this case they or I would go to the remote access settings and click check again. At which point the check fails and plex completely disables remote access. I have to at that point from the local (inside) network go into plex and re-enable it. Usually it will fail 4-5 times repeating the same indirect/disabled cycle. Eventually it will work. I can’t find a pattern to it.
Setup is as follows:
Inside ip: 192.168.1.100
Inside port: 32400
Outside port: 18700
Inside firewall config:
ACCEPT tcp – br0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:32400
ACCEPT udp – br0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:32400
Outside firewall config:
outside ip -> 18700 UDP/TCP -> inside ip -> 32400 UDP/TCP
If I use telnet from a remote server to check, or via https://canyouseeme.org/ I have absolutely no problem reaching the 18700 port and getting to the 32400 inside port on the plex server. It always works 100% of the time. So this is not a firewall/nat issue.
As you can imagine this is frustrating for non-technical users and as a result me.
