Hi folks,
Being far away from home, I couldn’t get decent access to my server and (stupidly) tinkered with the settings. I ticked ‘manual port setting 32400’ without forwarding it in my router and I have no remote access to the router settings. Now I can’t connect at all anymore. There’s no way I can get home. Is there any way to reconnect and undo this setting remotely?
Any help much appreciated.
Wait a few hours. You should still be able to connect per Relay.

(Unless you disabled ‘Secure Connections’. If you did that, there is no way)
Hi Otto, thank you. I didn’t change anything else than tick the ‘32400’ box. But now it’s 2 days later and the server shows as ‘offline’
I’m afraid, you’ll have to make do without Plex until you return home.
(Or you find someone competent enough to go to your server and change the setting back).
I don’t know about competent, but when logging into Plex on the home network, I should simply be able to get into settings again and untick the box? Or is anything else required now also?

Theoretically not.
But once you’re home again, I strongly recommend to
create a manual port forwarding and use that
verify ‘Secure Connections’ haven’t been disabled.
If you had to disable it because it caused issues in your local network with Plex, I’d invest some time trying to get it working nonetheless. Usually there is one or two settings in your router, which need to get adjusted.
