Hello. I've had Plex up and running for a couple of years now, with remote access working like a charm. Recently, I bought a Netgear Nighthawk and installed DD-WRT, then configured OpenVPN client using PIA service. All devices connected to the router are now fully VPN'd. Everything is working fi…

Wow, thank you for the reply! So I still have to do the port forwarding in the GUI? I was under the impression that once I started using the firewall portion of the router I needed to do the port forwarding in there (not in the GUI). The rule you outlined above will basically tell the router not …

I was using this script and it stopped working for me recently. I’m thinking Plex changed the IP ranges they use. Any help with making this work again? Thanks

@EddieA said: It’s a great game of “whack a mole” isn’t it. Not sure if this was due to the outage recently, but quite a few of the Plex IPs are now outside those ranges. Doing some dig’s, here’s what I’m now seeing: metrics-1673044558.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com. 52.17.176.169 54.171.244.2…

@JasonMeudt said: I think we are concerned with the AWS (Amazon Web…) IP’s more so than anything else… If we stick with the one I listed you “SHOULD” still be connecting ok since AWS does not have anything outside of there for Plex’s purposes. Yeah, it was quite a while ago I researched all the…
