My private ip is showing up as an ipv6 instead of an ipv4?
Anyone know why?
I went into network and tried disabling ipv6 there. Didn’t help on the issue.
Just a guess, but it could be a DNS issue. I believe for remote access PMS attempts to resolve the *.plex.direct FQDN of your server. If you’re using your router’s DNS server, maybe it has your link-local IPv6 address bound to that FQDN for some reason.
As a test, you could try changing the primary DNS server for your PMS host to one of the public providers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1). Flush your DNS (ipconfig /flushdns on the command-line) and then restart PMS.
Other than that, ensure you have IPv4 enabled on your primary network interface in your Windows network properties. If all else fails, and you don’t need it, disable IPv6 completely in Windows’ network properties for your interfaces.
Thanks for replying. I am already using 1.1.1.1 as primary dns and 8.8.8.8 as secondary. I also tried turning of ipv6 on my network adapter / interface.
I am gonna try and see if I manage to do some sort of forwarding to the ipv6 address as that would probably solve my issue.
Your router should create that port forwarding automatically, unless it is disallowed in the preferences of the router.
Judging by the public IP address, this is a shared IP. So your ISP is doing Carrier-grade-NAT with the IPv4 addresses of its customers.

However, at this time Plex still requires a publicly accessible IPv4 address, in order to be able to use the remote access feature.
You can only ask your ISP if they can provide you with a real public IPv4 address.
Some ISPs do it on request,
some want additional money for it,
some won’t do it at all.
Thing is that it worked yesterday. I did a clean install of Plex server today and that’s when the issue arouse.
I have port forwarded and can communicate with the server trough that port.
However mu ISP refuse to give out static IP’s.
You won’t need a static IP. But you need it to be publicly accessible. (Which is not the case wich CGNAT)
Well I found out about the IPV6 problem and now it works as long as I don’t have my VPN connected.
And yeah it’s publicly accesible. 
I am just gonna do some basic troubleshootign on the VPN issue however.
Figured out the VPN issue as well. All good now.
