PLEX with ESET Firewall

Server Version#: 4.30.2
Player Version#:

  1. After enabling Remote Access the error message stating it is not available, is incorrect, it is working.
  2. The ESET firewall must be setup using the interactive mode (each transaction detected by firewall must be allowed). For those associated with PLEX select ALLOW and apply to rule. Those not assorts coated with PLEX just ALLOW. Also the System transactions Allow and apply to rule. Continue this process until Remote Access is achieved.
  3. This worked for both PLEX and EMBY

Here is a printout from an ESET log. I got EMBY to Work First
