Hey,
Im trying to setup plexconnect from behind a firewall but can't seem to get it work. I have created the certs and open the ports in my firewall still no cigar. Anyone else having this problem if so, is anyone looking into to it?
This used to work before.
But has not worked in a while.
I think the problem is that when PlexConnect sends back the DNS repsons to the atv it respons with the internal ip example 192.168.0.10 instead of the external ip example 85.x.x.9.
Now you may ask why do you want to do this?
Well in my case my PMS and PlexConnect is located in a serverhall and we are 4-5 people using who wants to connect to the same PlexConnect server because some of them do not have a computer running 24/7 at home that can host a PlexConnect server.
I know there are some risks here with random people using your PlexConnect to do dns attacks and stuff but that can be avoided with nifty firewall rules.
Ports open 443 80 and 53.
16:27:08 DNSServer: DNS request received!
16:27:08 DNSServer: Source: ('xx.xx.xx.xx', 30158)
16:27:08 DNSServer: Domain: trailers.apple.com
16:27:08 DNSServer: ***intercept request
16:27:08 DNSServer: -> DNS response: 192.168.42.10
Before you could get it to respond with the external ip however if you change in the settings file now to
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False ip_plexconnect = xx.xx.xx.xx
Then when I start plexconnect I get
16:29:34 DNSServer: started: 16:29:34 16:29:34 DNSServer: Failed to create socket on UDP port 53: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address
Not that strange since my xx.xx.xx.xx ip is located on the router and not on the computer running Plexconnect.
