plex media server port forwarding ipv6 ipv4 xfinity

Plex team! This shouldn’t require this many steps. If you have DSL internet service then your DSL modem is your router. External IP Addresses Every home network has a router. It will say that outside access is disabled, but it should be accessible. Another very common reason for an internal static IP address is to set up a port forward so that you can access some sort of service from outside your home, such as Plex, a baby monitor, or video cameras.

Add this domain name as under Network in the Custom server access URLs field.

On the plex server settings under Network: Tried everything in the Port Forwarding area, nothing seemed to work.

Establish some sort of domain name for your plex server and create an AAAA record with the IPv6 address of your computer.

Adjust your router to allow IPv6 connections to the computer running your plex server.

Although port scanning is less of an issue with IPv6 because of the vastness of your address space (you likely have an IPv4 internet worth of IP addresses in just your house!) it’s still not a good idea to leave your machine just hanging out on the Internet with it’s pants down. (You’ll need to explicitly allow inbound connections for port 32400.

Make sure you have some sort of firewall enabled on the computer hosting the plex server.

Here’s what I did to get this working (albeit only with “indirect” connections). This means that I can only use IPv6 to establish connections.

Then type the Minecraft port number 25565 and the static IP address in the Inbound text box. In the pop-up window, enter a name for this rule such as Minecraft. On the home page of your router, navigate to the Forwarding tab from the left pane and click on the Add New button.

So, I also am in the same boat, my ISP no longer allows any inbound iPv4 because of CGNAT (carrier grade NAT). Now, follow the steps below to port forwarding Minecraft.
