Struggling getting plex port forwading to work

Daniel Cook2

Needing some help - i've followed every guide and no matter what i cant get it to work.

I have port 1 as my lan connected to my switch serving out IPs including my Plex server 172.16.16.30 

Port 2 is my WAN connected directly to the internet cat 5 to my place (its getting an IP works fine)

How do i setup port forwarding for my plex server? I cant figure it out and its had me stumped for nearly 5 hours! I've tried adding every single firewall rule nat rule but cant get it to work with remote access outside

    Your NAT Rule is wrong.

    • On Original Source It needs to be "Any", since you want to match Any IP from the WAN Interface.
    • You need to use your WAN Port, which is #Port2 as "Original Destination"
    • You need to use the "Plex Server" Host at "Translated Destination (DNAT)"; Here's an example:

    Also, enable "Log Firewall Traffic" on the Firewall Rule, or else you will suffer debugging It if something bad happens.
