Ryan2207 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hello All This question has probably been asked a million times but i couldn't find an existing topic, im using plex as a docker and have port 32400 forwarded to my server. is this bad practice or is it relatively safe ?, i can use a vpn provided by my pfsense machine if needed which would be more secure. Thoughts ? Kind Regards Ryan Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It's only necessary if you wish to access your Plex server remotely. If you use a VPN then it buggers up the Plex remote access although, it's possible to get it working. Someone wrote a very nice guide here on Plex and Pfsense. Quote Link to comment
Ryan2207 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks CHBMB, having port 32400 open has worked a treat for me, just wanted to make sure its relatively safe :-) Quote Link to comment
Porkie Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You can also get it to work via a reverse proxy, then you will not need the port open. If you use a reverse proxy the server will show up as indirect connection but it still works all the same. Quote Link to comment
