Remote access not working

Plex Media Server Remote Access

First: I am far away from a network expert but some common problems could be:

  • You are behind a CGNAT. Does your modem show as a IP show something like 100.64.x.y to 100.127.x.y?
  • Do you have a Cable modem and router combo? In this case your cable modem should be in bridge mode.
  • How do you access your server? Via DDNS a reverse proxy or VPN?
  • Have you forwarded your ports correctly? Does https://canyouseeme.org/ show your port?
  • Have you (miss)configured a firewall on your server?

These are some of the things I would check. Keep in mind: sometimes the remote access checkbox could be red even if you can correctly access your server. :wink:

Hope this helps!
