I am running Plex on my windows 10 computer. The problem is that I am not able to get the direct connection going. It shows as the private is good to go and the public is not. I have tried to open the ports on my windows firewall along with the router. I have also tried to set a manual port. I am still not able to get it to work outside of my network. Any help would be very nice. Thank you.
Are you using any form of a VPN? Those make outside connections unreliable.
Is there a double NAT situation? That is do you have your router connected to a modem that is a router as well? Those require some special port forwarding to work or the changing of one or the other router into “passthrough” mode.
