Setup Plex Server behind nginx Synology Reverse proxy

hi there !!

Maybe you’ll think… “ohh… another question about reverse proxy” but I failed to find any answer on this forum.

So:
I have a synology DS916+ with Plex on it (not a docker).
I secured my installation and I used my domain name from synology with the letsencrypt certificat.
I setup my reverse proxy like this:
IPLOCAL:32400 < IPWAN:443

On my router everything from HTTPS 443 port is redirected to my NAS
The reverse proxy config is setup like that:
https://plex.mydomain.synology.me redirected to http://ipnas:32400

Plex indicates:
“remote connection non functional”
Inside the network section I had this URL: “https://plex.mydomain.synology.me.”

The access from my smartphone when I am outside my home works well.
Inside also…

But my stepfather uses a Samsung TV model UE55HU6900 client version 2.006 but can’t have any access to my plex server.
On the tv app it’s my personal account which is setup.
The TV indicates “server not available”
So he cannot see any video from my personal plex server.

Do you have any idea ?
Maybe I need to do something manually into the reverse proxy conf.

Thanks for everything :smile:

A bit late but I’m researching as I’m about to try the same setup as you on my own 918+. I noticed something when reading that may have effected your setup.

Apparently some TV’s and other older plex apps cannot work with this configuration. An SSL issue I guess.

I will start with their synology’s quickconnect and work from there. I guess its:

Firstly get lets encrypt cert.
Secondly some sort of Nginx and a config file adapted for use.
