ANSWERED Plex and AirVPN problem [forwarded properly]

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,
 
I`ve been reading the guide on how to port forward plex and using AirVPN altogether.
Finally I manage to port forward properly and I`m somewhat stuck as I did not manage to access plex from outside my internet.

 

My setup: Debian Linux Server

AirVPN using openvpn

Asuswrt-merlin router (connected via LAN cable)
 
So this is my port forward setup in the client area. (I live in Indonesia and this is my closest server)

 

So my plex is also showing green and I`m visible to the internet.

 

IP tables setup is set this way. (Previously 32400 port wasn't there, adding it gives no differences)

#!/bin/sh

iptables -I FORWARD -i tun11 -p udp -d 192.168.2.140 --match multiport --dports 24253,32400,61477 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i tun11 -p tcp -d 192.168.2.140 --match multiport --dports 24253,32400,61477 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i tun11 -p tcp --match multiport --dports 24253,32400,61477 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.140
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i tun11 -p udp --match multiport --dports 24253,32400,61477 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.140

 

IPtables in Asuswrt Merlin is blank though, but it works. (my torrent said the port is forwarded as well)

 

So I`m wondering why I`m not able to connect to my plex. If I use browser it tells me to load the app insecurely, but even so I was still unable to connect. Using my phone, it will continously say "connecting" to my server.

 

Any ideas where I have gone wrong? 

 

Thank you for reading.

If Plex is under airvpn, you should put port 61477 in plex manual port and in your router map 32400 from incoming airvpn connections.

 

I have a working plex setup under airvpn.

You are right, I was messing around and I forgot to change back the manual port in Plex to 61477 instead of 24253 (port for torrent).

How could such simple mistake be done.

 

Thanks Wolf666 for pointing it out!
