as of today I noticed I can’t access my plex server at all when on my work’s wifi. But if i swtich to 4g i can watch plex just fine. But obviously mobile data isn’t truly unlimited high speed. And yes I only watch shit on my break. I have remote access enabled etc. Not sure what I can do?

Update: turns out I’m an idiot and my HD bay was turned off hence why I couldn’t get into my plex/media. Now I can view it all just fine at work.

    I simply changed my public port to 443 in Plex and made a port forward on my home router. 443 -> internal_ip:32400

        On your Plex server, you change the public port here

        On your home router, you reserve the IP address (aka DHCP reservation) assigned to the machine hosting the Plex server (or you assign a static IP address to it) in my case it’s 192.168.1.90, then you make a port forward so that port 443 on your public address is forwarded to your internal_ip port 32400.

        Now the home router part is specific to your router brand and model, so you’ll have to do some research on your end.

          I have spectrum so I have the default modem/router they provide which for my use case is just fine. In the spectrum app I can assign port forwards.
