Version 1.19.5.3035
I am installing a second server in my lan. I set the new server on port 32401. Unfortunately my router does not allow to port forward to a different port, it has to be to the same port (I can’t forward port 32401 to 32400!)
I forward 32401 to 32401 to the new server
In order to get access to the server, I set a port forwarding rule on windows:
C:>netsh interface portproxy show all
Listen on ipv4: Connect to ipv4:
Address Port Address Port
127.0.0.1 32401 127.0.0.1 32400
And… it works!
That is… until the computer reboots. Then the forwarding rule is set BEFORE Plex server is on, and then Plex server crashes:
Jul 20, 2020 19:55:44.566 [8656] ERROR - HttpServer: Error binding acceptor: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions
Jul 20, 2020 19:55:44.566 [8656] ERROR - Error: Unable to set up server: listen: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions (struct boost::wrapexcept)
The only way I found to make it work again is to remove the port forwarding rule, start plex again, and put back the port forwarding rule.
Is there any way more gracious than that ?
Thanks!
