I need to forward port 49000 to my Plex server bcs I can’t use 32400 on my service, and when I got to my Asus RT-AC66U and I made this:
But Plex ain’t really happy about this:
I am doing anything wrong here? I other ports open without any problems but I just can’t seem to get Plex to open up.
Assuming the Local IP on the Port Forward is the Private IP for the server and the server has one LAN interface then it should be ok - but there are many potential issues that would stop remote access working. See the Troubleshooting Remote Access page for the checklist https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200931138-Troubleshooting-Remote-Access
but I just can’t seem to get Plex to open
The port forward and remote access should not be relevant to opening Plex Media Server on the server itself.
Don’t know what your platform and if it is a Desktop / Mac - you should be able to access the server through a browser and http://localhost:32400/web directly on the server even without a port forward in place.
Just checked your account - Is your server not on a local network and is it directly connected to the internet ?
The local IP is not within the private IP range
@sa2000 I am a Windows 10 Pro user, and ofc I can connect to it on locahost/127.0.0.1:32400 no problem but I can’t seem to get outside with Plex sadly.
It’s behind my Asus router and I have another application using 49500 that is open no problem even on http://canyouseeme.org/ the port 49500 lists as opened while 49000 keeps being closed no matter what I do.

Plex does not listen on 49000 but listens on 32400.
The router forwards 49000 to 32400
Have you clicked Enable Remote Access on the settings / remote access page ?
Do you have Double NAT ?
@sa2000 I do use a vpn but that have port 49000 opened and I did what I showed above can’t get it to work that’s why I ask here.
I have another net program running on port 49500 as I said it’s connected and opened no program just Plex I can’t get to route to port 49000.
Port 49500:

I cannot help you with getting it to work with vpn.
As far as I can see the public IP that plex.tv sees for remote access to the server is the 195.192,xx,xx IP and not the 77.247.178.202 you tested
This screenshot shows I successfully connected to your server’s 195.192.xxx.xxx IP address through public port 49000
Ty @sa2000 weird thing is u shouldn’t be able to find my ip other than the one on my vpn :^o
