Title: Did Port Forward Change??
Post by: spetrillo on January 13, 2022, 01:02:15 AM
Hmmm I got a strange one. I implemented a port forward for my Plex server many moons ago. It was working. When I upgraded to 21.7 something changed. When I try to enable remote access from Plex it will go green for a few seconds and then turn red.

Attached is the port forward rule for Plex in OPNsense. Ok what the heck am I doing wrong?

I queried it because ordinarily services randomise source ports. You must have a very specific setup if you can guarantee always the same source port?

Plex does not have any ability to randomize.

Really don't understand that comment. When I use a client to connect from outside my network to my plex server, the source port changes all the time

You might want to check your firewall logs to see what is being blocked when trying to connect to your WAN on dest port 32400. I think you will see the same
