Greetings Community:
I have a Plex server running on a QNAP 653A with no issues for years. My router is a Ubiquiti ERL. I have port 32400 forwarded to my QNAP’s static IP address. I also have the QNAP security locked down to drop all access to the NAS with the exception of a select few WAN IP address ranges. As a result, my Plex server complains “Not available outside your network.” I can still watch media remotely, but through the relay service. I want to direct connect for faster streams/better quality.
IF I temporarily drop my QNAP NAS firewall to allow all connections, the error message goes away immediately. But I do not wish to leave my NAS open to the world. So I know the problem is because I am not whitelisting the server range that Plex uses to ping my NAS before allowing the client and server to connect directly.
Can anybody tell me what plex.tv’s server IP range is that they use to ping user’s media servers for verifying remote access is possible?
