plex media server port forwarding ipv6 ipv4 xfinity

(It should just work after a few minutes but you might have to restart the app. You should now have two custom server URLs separated by a comma, you may now save your config and enjoy your server from anywhere no matter what network they use. You will get an IPv4 address.īuild a second custom server URL with the IPv4 address from your port mapper, still using '-' instead of dots and this time instead of using port 32400 you use the port that your portmapper has provided to you. You have your port mapper going to port 32400 on your IPv6 Plex server (e.g.: :1234)Īdd the custom server access URL with your IPv6 address like in the before mentioned postĭo a nslookup of your URL that you got from your port mapper service. So how can I access my Plex server from my crappy old IPv4 connection? (Took me some time to figure that out but makes sense when you stop and think about it).

The problem: This method works only from an IPv6 network. Today I found this post from u/Pikey18 which allows you to reach your Plex server via IPv6 directly and without any tinkering with certificates and what not. ( Here the post for those who don't know yet) My issue with that method was that I could only access it with an insecure connection which meant that for family members the server would not work correctly without tinkering and overall it wasn't really pretty. So I guess most of you who have to struggle with DS-lite (no dedicated IPv4) have already found out that with port mapping you can at least make your server reachable. I had a little breakthrough and thought I would share it with you.
