PlexConnect DNSServer: Warning: DNS error (10054): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Dev Community Apps & Creations

I am currently having an issue where when I try to connect to navigate to an application and request something on appletv 3 I get intermittent connection issues. My network topology is unchanged and is good for streaming normally without injecting my plex server in the middle via DNS change. On my logs
the line:

DNSServer: Warning: DNS error (10054): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I have my settings.conf set as followed:

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 192.168.2.44
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False
ip_plexconnect = 192.168.2.44
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
allow_gzip_atv = False
allow_gzip_pmslocal = False
allow_gzip_pmsremote = True
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .

It has been worked perfect before. I now get intermittent outages and constantly receive the errors

" DNSServer: Warning: DNS error (10054): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host " which I did not get before.

I use PIA for VPN and the only other thing I tried is changing my ip_dnsmaster line to match PIA’s DNS serve IPs. This did not make a difference. I am hoping I can get some help.

I am on plexconnect version .5

So an update, After troubleshooting this I am down to it being with my firewall. I use Avast. I even explicitly added the plexconnect application (python.exe) to trusted applications but it will still flag this. I know this is the issue because I toggle my firewall on and off and this directly impacts the errors I get and the intermittent drops. I am posting this in case others are having the same issues they can look at this as a potential area to troubleshoot.

Thanks for reporting, I will update FAQ’s.

When VPN’s are used PlexConnect can sometimes bind to the wrong IP and it’s not possible to fix it, therefore PlexConnect should always be launched before the VPN is active.

4

I do have my server setup so on boot, plexconnect launches first before the VPN. It is specifically the firewall that is messing it up. I use Avast Internet Security, and the moment I turn the firewall off plexconnect runs perfectly. The only issue I have now is, even though I have added plexconnect and python as a packet rule in my firewall I still receive the DNSerrors when firewall is up. I am at a loss at the moment at how to get this working with Avast’s firewall, if there are other people running another firewall I am all ears. I currently am running the paid version of avast so I would hate to migrate to something else, but if I cant get it to work then I will have to. I don’t want to go without a firewall completely.

PlexConnect’s DNS is not the fastest thing on earth… The only service really mandatory in PlexConnect is the Web service, you can replace PlexConnect’s DNS service by something else. There is one user running 40x ATV’s that had to replace it with another DNS.

If your PC is heavily used, with transcoding tasks and the like, replacing the DNS can be an option. You can also edit DNSServer.py to increase timeout value (lines 327 and 413) from 5.0 to higher value.

6

I will attempt the timeout options first. What can I use in place of plexconnects DNS service? I have seen on another thread if I disabled it I would have to manually configure the DNS service. Not exactly sure where to go

7

So I attempted to increase the DNS timeout in DNSServer.py . I stepped it up to 10.0 and still the same result. Also, do you know if that integer is in milliseconds or seconds? When I receive that DNS error line its almost immediately after requesting something via the ATV. As for server tasks. I have an i7 3777k and its OC. I haven’t really had an issues before with it. at most I only have 4 ATVs that route to plexconnect. Other users that use my server are <3 at any given time typically. So resources shouldn’t be an issue, but I feel you would know more than I would. Thank you so far for the troubleshooting help :slight_smile:

I know you probably understand the problem but I figured I would include my logs with and without the firewall. Note the only changes I am doing are toggling off the firewall. These conditions are the same ATV, nothing else is tasking my server. Only difference is that firewall. Which I have added and I even have the ATV’s IP addresses added in the rules. image That is all of the plexconnect related apps I have completely opened on the firewall to troubleshoot to try to get it to work and still not resolution.

With AVAST Firewall on:

Made a Google search. For example:

So not specific to PlexConnect. I’m afraid I can’t help… Maybe in the Avast forum (or raising a ticket to avast).

But maybe you can try another DNS for PlexConnect instead of 209.222.18.222 use your own router (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254), or external DNS’s such as 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9. Or do you want to bypass geoblocking ?
