Hi! I read people mentioning that IPV6 would be a good thing for users. Currently, I use a specific port and I created a port forwarding entry for it because I disabled UPNP.
Here’s my question: would I need to create an IPV6 firewall rule on my server if IPV6 was used? (so that it could be reachable) I mean… Is this already a thing on Plex?
Full IPv6 support is not quite ready yet (it is being worked on), but yes you would need to still create a firewall rule to allow traffic.
It seems complex… I’m not even sure that my gateway (which is also my router) from the ISP allows me to have static IPV6 addresses.
Full support for IPv6 is primarily going to benefit a subset of Plex Media Server users: Those who wish to use remote access and whose ISPs place IPv4 behind CG-NAT (or use Dual Stack-Lite) and which also support IPv6 (if DS-Lite, this is a given). This will facilitate non-relayed remote access in that situation.
This will necessarily require a router which supports IPv6, specifically one which supports granular firewall rules to allow a specific port to be unblocked on the external interface (TCP 32400) for a specific IPv6 address (each device on your network will have a unique, public IPv6 IP address).
Plex has supported IPv6 on the server side (and MyPlex) for years; it’s primarily a client limitation right now.
There is nothing complex about IPv6… only lazyness
I meant “for a dumb end-user like me”. 
Oh… I see.. Thanks
I’m running dual-stack environment (IPv4/IPv6). My ISP is AussieBroadband – good IPv6 support. Routing and switching with Unifi devices.
I am pleased to learn Plex is working on improving IPv6 support (media server and media clients). I’m happy to beta test, concentrating on IPv6.
I’m just “a dumb end-user” as well.
