Okay, I’ve been A+ certified, I’ve built computers, and I am done trying to figure this on my own. Port forwarding? Done. Today I set a static IP in my router and turned off uPnP. I’m not running a VPN on my PC. I keep having issues where I’m watching something and the connection just drops, and I’m 99% sure it’s all happening on the Windows end.
Yes, Plex broke something.
Last two weeks Plex is unusable. Cant remote access media from inside the network or from outside the network. I restart the NAS and it works and then randomly stops working. Cant even run Plex on the NAS when it happens.
Running Synology DS1019+ with Plex behind a PFSense firewall over a year on ver 2.4.5 over. Year. No problems. Then the same after upgrading pfsense to ver 2.5.1. Upgraded to plex 1.23.3.4392 and this keeps happening daily multiple times a day.
No one can access via PC, cell phone, tablet, or TV.
It looks like your server is connected using WiFi, and the connection is intermittently dropping. There are periods where it can’t resolve Plex server names, and then the network interfaces reset.
If it’s at all possible, consider connecting your server with Ethernet.
I have this issue as well. My Win10 PC is connected via ethernet. It happens on my Win10 PC
Any resolutions yet?
Port 32400 is successfully forwarded.
I do not use a VPN.
Per the OP, why would disabling uPnP be a possible resolution?
Does it matter if I forward 32400 to tcp AND udp , or should it just be one of them?
**UPDATE
I removed the port forward for 32400 from my router settings and Plex enabled Remote Access. How is this possible? I thought 32400 had to be forwarded?
