Port Forwarding Masquerading Issue

Connor Walker1

Hi Users,

I had specific ports open on my firewall for over a year now and its been working great however, I have a Plex Server which is access from multiple devices and i recently wanted to see which ip's were logging into Plex but it only shows me my routers ip even through ip accessing outside of my network.

I figured it was because Masquerading was turned on and set to my routers ip. I turned it off which fixed the issue, i can now see the public ip of the user on Plex. But now i get the problem where on my devices inside my network i cannot access plex through my public ip i have to use the local ip to access it. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Any advise would be amazing.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    the report is correct because your WAN interface is getting an address from the router and is probably nat'ed there as well.

    Is you flex in its own network or on your main LAN? You could create a DNS entry for the internal address of your plex.

    I guess, your had a Business Application Rule with MASQ in Place and you disabled the MASQ in this Rule. 

    But your internal Clients used the same rule? How do your internal Clients access the Plex Server? With the Public IP of XG?
