This computer has plenty of power to do everything you're doing now plus Blue Iris. But, if you really want to be able to do both then I think VirtualBox is the answer.

Looking at what you're doing with this box, and given that you're planning to move download activity elsewhere, I don't really see a problem policy routing the whole thing to WAN. No doubt you're going to want remote access for Blue Iris too, which also won't work over a VPN due to the need for port forwarding. Thanks much for your help and good questions!Įxcellent media server box! Perfect for Plex and Blue Iris (which I'm also pretty familiar with). With the recent change in laws on ISP monitoring, and for general privacy, I want to keep as much encrypted as possible. Plex may get 5 or 10 hours of viewing over the course of a week, although I've thought of opening it up for other family members to watch as well. I felt I didn't want to add the overhead and to keep as much horsepower for transcoding and such.

I thought of running VMware Desktop to create a VM for running some processes.

Running Windows Server seemed like overkill as I've been trying to keep it simple.

#ACCESS PLEX REMOTELY WINDOWS 10#

I have setup VMware in the past, but was having trouble with the VMs seeing all of the drives and decided that simple Windows 10 was sufficient. I have been doing my downloads on this box, hence the desire to have a VPN, but I'm moving that out of the house, to minimize issues.

I am planning to add Blue Iris software for security cameras.

The server would need some horsepower to do that though, which is why I'd like to know the specs.īTW, using Plex remotely is at its best on a box with some power, as one of Plex's real strengths is its transcoding capability. A VM would get it's own IP and then we could route the VM to the WAN and the host to the VPN. The only other option I can think of is to put the PMS in a virtual machine using Oracle VirtualBox or the like. So the reason I'm asking the above questions is that I'm wondering if we could policy route the REST of what you're doing with the PMS machine to the VPN. In order for Plex remote to work we need to to bypass the VPN and allow any IP address through (that's authorized of course). What other applications are you running on it? Is this a true headless server, or is it a workstation doing some server tasks? What are the rough specs in terms of processor, memory and the like? The IP addresses you'll be streaming your content to are unknown, since it could be from any remote location you choose, or anybody else chooses that you share your content with (a cool feature of Plex I use with my far flung family). It wouldn't scale well for them to do it that way. As far as I know, Plex's servers are involved in remote access (credentials and tracking your Dynamic IP like a DDNS server) but when you're actually streaming something from a remote location I doubt that traffic is going via Plex. So when you go to Plex "Web" on your LAN and then to Settings - Server - Remote Access, and enable Remote Access does the IP address your Plex Media Server is reporting match your current public IP from your ISP? Do you have your Plex server setup via DHCP Reservation so its LAN address won't change? Have you checked the Windows Firewall settings on your Plex Server to be sure TCP 32400 is allowed inbound?Īlso, I'm not sure that your allowing just certain IP addresses through for Plex (that you found online) is going to work. I appreciate any help and pointers to what I have missed, done incorrectly or additional information you need to understand what isn't working. which makes sense that remote access is not working.Īs I can tracert to without going through the VPN, and I have port forwarding set to forward port 32400 to my server, my limited knowledge of this makes me think I should be able to connect. I've tried telnet to my public IP and port 32400, but it won't connect.

In Plex -> Settings -> Server -> Remote Access I have manually set the public port to: 32400 If I tracert any of the IPs, I can see that they are not going through the VPN, while all other IPs are. On the WAN page, Port Forwarding tab, I have a forward with the following: So I have several lines in the custom configuration that look like: In the OpenVPN cliet setup "Custom Configuration" I have setup routes for the Plex IP ranges that I found online and from looking on google's DNS: I'm sure I'm close and hope someone can give me some direction. I have spent a couple of days googling, reading, googling, reading. I am having trouble getting Plex Remote Access to work. so they route directly and Hulu/Netflix work. I have created exceptions for Amazon FireTV, Xbox, etc.

I have an ASUS RT-AC5300 router with Asuwrt-Merlin 380.68 and am using ExpressVPN. Hi, I'm new, so my apologies in advance if have I screwed up, or omit an important part.
