Remote Access with VPS as Relay

Hey there I’m now searching for hours and not finding a good solution for remote access. I’m actually running my Plex server in my lan. Portforwarding is not possible because of cgnat. My server I’m running Plex is relaying the port with a ssh tunnel in my VPS. On my VPS there is running a reverse proxy managing cert renewable for my plex.example.com domain. My Plex is then reachable by plex.example.com but not via Plex App so no remote access is possible. I tried also the remote url but no luck with that remote access is not possible via plex.app.
Can somebody give me some advice how to configure the remote access correctly that my VPS is used as Relay correctly?
Kind regards and thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

I can only point you in the hopefully right direction. I haven’t done this myself yet.

First, you need to tell plex.tv the URL of your redirected server: Network | Plex Support
" Custom server access URLs"

If you are using an own certificate, you need the private key and the password to open the key and put that into the server configuration.

  • Custom certificate location
  • Custom certificate encryption key
  • Custom certificate domain

You cannot use a self-signed certificate. It must be “trusted”/“verifiable” through the root certificates which are stored in the operating systems of the various Plex client devices.

Awesome thank you so much it just work’s :slight_smile:
For others i followed this guide to convert the certificates Setup Let's Encrypt certificate for use with Plex Media Server on Ubuntu · GitHub
