plex media server port forwarding ipv6 ipv4

So what IPv6 address do you want to use for server hosting/firewall rules? The public IPs that start with “2” and are not marked “temporary”, is the simple answer, but the longer one is a bit more complicated.ĭepending on your operating system, you may not have stable IPv6 addresses by default. The other type that you haven’t mentioned, but I’ll include for the sake of completion, are Unique Local Addresses (ULA), these start with “fd” and are similar to the RFC1918, 192.168 type addresses you know with IPv4. Link Local addresses are also just that, local to the link. You do not want to use these for any firewall rules or server hosting. Temporary addresses are just that, they will change over time.

Enter that into “Custom server access URLs”.

Combine your IPv6 (replace : with -) and your plex.direct URL and your server port, eg.

You want to check the network interface information of the device running PMS or your router / gateway.

Get to know the public IPv6 address of the device running your Plex Media Server, eg.

In the bottom half, select and copy the whole plex.direct URL, eg.

Click on the “Subject” entry in the top half.

View the certificate (In Chrome you click on the lock next to the URL, then on certificate).

Access Secure Plex Web using your servers LAN IP, eg.

To get it working there is a simple solution: Sadly Plex always uses IPv4 even when “Enable server support for IPv6” is enabled, thus Remote Access will not work. The reported IPv4 is not publicly accessible. I‘ve read in this thread that it is possible to assign a MAC address to a dock container.On DS-Lite (Dual Stack-Lite) connections you do not get a public IPv4 address but only a IPv6 one. My goal is to have external access to my Plex Server (Docker). Is this wrong?Īm I thinking completely wrong because I just learning very slowly how unraid works? How do i get this IPv6 to the Plex Docker so i can reach it from external?

IPv6 DNS server assignment: static (i let the IP like it was given, should be OK?)

IPv6 address assignment: static (i let the IP like it was given, should be OK?) Would it be easier and possible to use DuckDNS? All I want in first place ist to have connection to Plex from external. Didn't know how to describe my problem in one sentence.
