Plex unreachable from mobile networks

Server Version#: 1.25.4.5468
Player Version#:

I noticed after one of the beta server updates users on mobile networks were not able to access the server.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server

the plex relay exe was not working due to the following 2 dll’s were missing from the folder
cygwin1.dll
cyggcc_s-1.dll

So FYI if anyone is having this issue this is how to fix it

I would recommend disabling Replay

Settings \ Network (Show Advanced) \ (Uncheck) Enable Relay

Typically Relay is used when standard remote access is not working, you may need to check your remote access configuration.

I just have no luck accessing plex using a cell network (Verizon) without it on. Both App and webpage will not connect.

Did you already have a look at the troubleshooting support article posted by nathanstorms?

There’s also a guide with some more details… if you want to dig into the remote access problems, you’ll need to dig a little deeper into your own setup:

It looks like the relay DLL issue was addressed in the latest update.
