SSH stops when PlexConnect running

Hi,

 

PlexConnect is stopping me from ssh ing into my mac mini. All is fine when PlexConnect is not running.

 

Should this be the case?

No... how do you run PlexConnect? In a terminal, per launchctl, ...

I run it in terminal.

config file

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
port_webserver = 80
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
certfile = /Users/keith/PlexConnect/assets/certificates/trailers.pem
ip_dnsmaster = 192.168.1.254
ip_pms = 192.168.178.190
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
enable_dnsserver = True
enable_plexgdm = True
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_dnsserver = 53
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
port_ssl = 443
enable_webserver_ssl = True

I think I know what it.

I have my ssh listening on port 443 as that is the one of only two ports allowed out of my works network.

Is the web server that runs on PlexConnect getting this port as well as 80 and preventing my shh?

Yes plexconnect must run on 80,443 and 53 as these are the ports the ATV works on. Of your ssh is running I would expect you to have an error staring plexconnect but of it is not then plexconnexxt would start and take ownership of the port, stopping ssh.

You can set up a reverse proxy to get around this, see the appropriate OS server thread for details.
