Remote access to Plex while using starlink

[drkCrix]

Good afternoon all,

 

I have recently moved and my best bet for high speed internet was to start using my starlink dish as my main internet source.

 

Currently they are running CGNat for IP distribution and the IPv6 service is still not 100%.

 

What I would like to do is somehow connect to a service that allows me to assign a static IP to my Plex docker.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to best do that?  Also what service would be best to suited for this?

 

Appreciate all the info that you can provide

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

I too am looking for a solution to this problem as my ISP is StarLink as well.  As of right now I'm thinking IPv6 is the only viable option, but I'd like to hear what others may be using.  I've also heard of https://ngrok.com as an potential option, but I didn't look into it yet.

What I have done thus far is this

 

I created a tunnel using Mullvad following the Wireguard guide below

 

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/84316-wireguard-vpn-tunneled-access-to-a-commercial-vpn-provider/

 

Then I went back to the Mullvad site and created a port forward for that connection

 

Then using a iptables line I found in the article below

 

https://yevhen.ca/running-a-plex-server-through-starlink-cgnat-with-mullvad-vpn/

 

I added it to Unraid using the terminal window substituting the port I received from Mullvad 

 

Once that was done I went into plex and set the external port to the port that was assigned to my from Mullvad and hit apply

 

With any luck it should show accessible.

 

This may not be the best way of doing it and I would welcome to hear what others have to say

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

how did you go with this? Did this solution work?

I did a quick skim on an article that was reporting to use a VPS and then a VPN tunnel from that to your network 

and you could use pfsense as your gateways and VPN's which would probably make things easier and more secure,

after the setup is done you can forward ports via the VPS to the tunneled VPN

but a Virtual Private Server costs money
