February 17, 20251 yr Hello, I use my serve only for plex and I can access it from outside my place. Like on the phone for example. Quick question, if I install tailscale plugin and i set it up, can i use plex on my tv as a client if I can only use ipv6 (ipv4 only available from provider if i pay extra per month) ? or do i need to use another app too ? thx a lot. PS: i'm just trying to figure out if i can get rid of that extra feature from provider that ask 15usd per month for a ipv4 and if my mom can access my server from her place.

February 19, 20251 yr Community Expert ^-Review Unriad has a ip v6 issues with dockers... Unraid forces docker networks to use ipv4 only... you can verify this with the docker inspect commands... you can add some ipv6 functionally with a user script at array start: echo "Applying sysctl settings..." sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra=2 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen=64 There is a tailscale docker, and there are lxc examples of running debain with tailscale to setup an exit node to fix... While the tailscale plugin exist and can work it is a pain to properly configure something... and it is not very well explained nor documented on unraid yet. Please READ THE TAILSCALE DOCS! https://tailscale.com/kb/1348/guides is it posible yes. it sounds like you want the funnel option which is advanced tailscale configurations... which can lead into issues with seting up a exist node and breaking dns across the host... as noted here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/186038-docker-intermitten-dns-issues-sometimes-due-to-tailscale-with-resolvconf/#findComment-1519995 *while some patching and fixes have been made its still not somethingI'd recommend... for your example a general plex.<tailscalenetwrok.ts.net used with the tailscale plugin and teh serve feature. yes its capable once a person connects to the tailscale vpn to be able to access plex. better asked on the tailscale side of the forum: https://forums.unraid.net/forum/111-tailscale/ the issues comes down to how your mother will connect to your tailscale vpn client...

February 19, 20251 yr Community Expert unifi has a decent router and easy vpn setup. Its $120 each for a router solution. https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cloud-gateways-compact/products/ucg-ultra?gQT=1 if you router needs wifi: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/ux average $150 each... with this hardware as you router, as this will work across ipv4 and cgnat and the teleport site magic is free built-in... *You can create other management accounts, but you would need to be the owner of the device... New hardware device setup: ISP Modem > UCG > Home Devices Moms ISP Modem > UCG > Home Devices You can configure both and setup a "telport" site magic vpn (running wireguard underneath) to connect the two networks and see plex locally over the unifi site magic vpn I'd recomend that over tailscale. As this will fix the potential issues of how your mom conecting to your vpn to access plex. ############################ or don't use a VPN at all. plex supports this if you have a non cgnat public IP. Then Your mother will need to have a plex account and you can share your plex to your mothers plex account. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/ https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares/
February 19, 20251 yr Author not gonna lie, these methods go a little bit to far from my knowledge but it's still interesting. so thank you ! honnestly i just wanted to know if it was possible to get rid of that monthly payment of the internet provider so i can have a ipv4 and get plex to work.
