Remote Access Changes Between Available and Not + Certain Players Cant Connect

Server Version#: 1.18.4.2171

I recently moved my server from one network/machine to another using the official plex guide. On the old setup everything was working fine for 3+ years. Both machines run Ubuntu 18.04.3 and are kept updated (OS, Plex, etc…).

After moving the server everything worked fine. A few days later I noticed issues locally, and tracked it down to IPv6 so I disabled that, and everything went back to working fine locally.

Since then, several out of network clients haven’t been able to connect, namely a Samsung Tizen TV and a Roku TV. The error on both of them is about not being able to create a secure connection.

Several other out of network clients aren’t able to establish a direct connection, but are using the relay. Other out of network clients seem to be able to establish a direct connection (e.g. I turn wifi off on my phone, and use the Plex app or the direct address (.hash.plex.direct…)).

I’ve also noticed that Remote Access seems to jump between connected and not. When I first start the server it says I am connected, then after a few minutes changes to not connected. When it is not connected it is:

Private :32400 <- Public : X Internet

If I click the retry button by the manual port entry, it typically goes back to being connected. If I wait a few minutes, it goes back to not being connected.

canyouseeme says that the port is open on my public IP. I have a Verizon FiOS ONT ethernet connection to a Google Wifi, which is connected to a switch which is connected to the machine with the server.

I restarted the server and let it run through this cycle a couple of times, and then I grabbed the logs. Is there anywhere private that I can upload it?

Possibly fixed it.

The machine that the server used to live on was turned back on around the time these issues started. I had cleared everything plex related from it, so I’m not sure how it is messing with things. But the remote access has stayed connected for a while now, and the clients that weren’t able to connect can now connect.
