Can you disable ufw just for testing?

Or post the configuration for port 32400 of ufw?

Yes ok I will do that. and see if it works. Though it is quite late here. I will check it and let you know tomorrow?

How do I check the configuration for port of ufw in the command line? I’m not sure of commands in Linux as I’m new at it.

This is the config of ufw of port 32400.  
I tried disabling ufw as well and it didn’t work.

Hello kewpuh,

Please find attached the edit port forwarding 32400 screenshot in this message. I have blacked out the IP addresses as a security measure. Let me know if this is what you wanted to see?

I see you have some other port forwarding going on there. I’m assuming they work properly? Can you screenshot the remote access section of the Plex server as well?

also you really don’t have to black out 192.168.0.0/16 address space. it’s private space, not internet routable. The only IP you want to black out is your public facing IP address, whatever that 49. is. I also misread that screenshot as you having other port forwards going on, so unless you do actually have other forwarding, you can disregard that. Mostly wanted to see that your internal IPs actually matched up just to rule everything simple out.
