“ ”)Ĭonsumer grade routers typically do not support accessing your WAN IP from your LAN so the data route may be very inefficient if you cannot use the port forward directly from your LAN. You can also browse directly to the web app bundled with Plex Media Server on the SHIELD: (e.g. To watch local content, there's typically no need to take a weird route out of your WAN and then back in again, you should be able to go directly in the LAN.Īs a sanity check, does the direct browsing method work? Any help from anyone would be appreciated.Hi you already followed the instructions to configure the Plex Media Server at the below link and checked it works with one of the Plex clients mentioned?Īs your TV and Plex Media Server are both in the same network, your LAN, you would only need port forwards if that is what the online instructions advise. Now that we are forwarding the port, we will configure our Plex Media Server to utilize it. It also uses the following ports locally (no need to forward them onto the internet): 1900 UDP (. The latter have yet to compile a validated guide on how to get this to work in the latest version of pfSense.Īfter having tried all possible combinations of rules I could think of I have removed all the rules under NAT and Rules to start clean.
Sweclockers tips did not work and neither did the VPN provider. To get this to work I turned to Sweclockers (good tech site in my native language Swedish) as well as the VPN provider themselves. Really great stuff! To the point at hand! Regardless of what I do, I am not able to successfully port forward 32400 (for connecting to PLEX remotely) on the VPN interface! The service has public IP (which is required to work) and on every site where you can check your IP it will tell me that the PLEX machine is on the VPN provider's public IP.
I have run a VPN client from within pfSense with great success and just recently I discovered the gateway group functionality, enabling load balancing and fail over.
Among them I have my dedicated PLEX machine. So today I run pfSense virtually on a Hyper-V Host together with a Linux and a few Windows 10 machines. So first of all, thanks for a terrific product! Many a router had been bought and sent back before finding pfSense! For the past two months I have spent a lot of hours in the GUI trying to find the optimal solution for me and I feel that I have come very close. I'm completely new to this forum and relatively new to pfSense as well.
