Server Version#: Version 1.29.1.6316  
Player Version#:9.10.1.36024  
Hi all.  
Im running Unraid and with plex.  
A first i got very “Unstable” direct connection. The remote access was wokring on/off.  
I followed this guide:

> **[Suggested Plex Media Server Settings - TRaSH Guides](https://trash-guides.info/Plex/Tips/Plex-media-server/)**
>
> Guides mainly for Sonarr/Radarr/Bazarr and everything related to it.

Now i cant connect at all from outside.  
Tryed  
Updateing my Unify USG  
Updating my Unify 24p switch  
Restart docker  
Portforward checker: Port\_32400 is open on XXXX.  
Talked with my ISP and i got a static IP som no NAT.

What good ideas do you guys have?

Please read through [Remote Access](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/) and [Troubleshooting Remote Access](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200931138-troubleshooting-remote-access/) support pages.  
Then step through this guide: [The Basics of Remote Access Troubleshooting](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-basics-of-remote-access-troubleshooting/769517)

If you have been unable to get remote access working after you have completed all of the above _(please be thorough and don’t skip any steps, or think you’ve already done all of this so you don’t need to bother)_, come back and we’ll get some details from you and proceed from there.

The remote access going green initially is a red herring. It will always go green after you make a change, while Plex is actually checking the access. Once the check is complete it correctly changes to red. It is not actually briefly working and then stopping.

You mentioned some Ubiquiti equipment. Do you also have an ISP modem or router? Do you have your bridging set up so that you’re not dealing with an internal double NAT situation?

Nope

Fiber converter (bridge) → USG → Unifi switch → Dell server with Unraid.

All this worked with my windows server.

I made another topic why it didnt work.

Sorry, I’m a little confused now. Your other post seems to indicate that you figured out what you needed to do to get it working?
