Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets you run a Linux environment on your Windows PC and is required to set up Twingate.
#Plex remote access not working install#
If you haven’t already done so, please install Plex Media Server here.

Plex Media Server can be installed on a variety of devices. Install Plex Media Server on your Windows PC If not, please following these instructions first. If you’ve already installed Plex, WSL, and Docker on your Windows PC, skip ahead to “Sign up for Twingate” below. The rest of this guide assumes that you have some components already installed. Please also join us in our community forum to share and discuss your experience and any other use cases you’ve discovered! Prerequisites In this guide, we’ll focus on Windows and walk you through the steps to setup Twingate to access your Windows Plex Media Server from anywhere. If you are running your Plex Media Server on a NAS or a Raspberry Pi, please follow the tutorial here.

We are excited to offer a new simple, secure, and free solution: Twingate Starter! Twingate remote access does not require setting up a VPN, port forwarding, static IP addresses, or configuring DDNS There are other common approaches, but as the table below illustrates, they are cumbersome, insecure, and potentially expensive. For mobile access, Plex provides mobile apps, but without a paid subscription, video and music streaming is limited to 1 minute and photos are watermarked. Using port forwarding also exposes an open port to your home network that can potentially be exploited. Plex offers a remote access feature that relies on port forwarding, but the configuration may not always work or there may be other common issues like Double-NAT, resulting in an error like the screenshot below. But what about when you are away on vacation, or if you want to share access to your library with friends and family? Plex remote access not working? It’s easy to listen to your music or watch your movies via Plex when you’re at home and connected to your home network. This is what I did and it worked this morning.Plex Media Server is a great solution to organize all of your media and access them from your laptop, phone, TV, or lots of other places. The last part is I also read just to wait a while and try again the next morning. I hope at least the thought process will help if it’s even valid. This is way more than anyone should have to do and many won’t have access to these tools like I do on a Linux box. Therefore I had to add 2 new iptables rules to redirect port 32444 to port 32400 (this is what the router also does for the outside public traffic). Now the last part is since I published the different remote port number I thought if my local plex server tries to resolve that it will fail since dnsmasq will work and it will resolve to my local ip address but Plex isn’t listening to port 32444. Now I don’t know if this actually worked but I wanted to trick my local plex server to resolve my custom subdomain to my local ip address and not the real public address so I added to my local dnsmasq server and made it resolve to my local ip address. I have my custom subdomain listed on the custom server access URL with the public facing remote port number. The custom cert is from let’s encrypt with my own custom subdomain.

I have a custom certificate enabled because I was trying to get around my double-NAT problems. I have remote access enabled on a different port and this may have been part of the problem which I’ll detail later. I did the same and this was the last thing I changed before it started working. There was another thread I saw where someone set secure connections to “Required” under Server network settings and also disabled http pipelining. I have gotten my echo to play music as of this morning but unfortunately I’ve changed many things so I can’t pinpoint exactly what part was critical for me to get it working. I am behind a double NAT (on purpose) with a phone ATA sitting out in front of my network so my problems are worse than others. I do agree the issue is NAT and some people have had success enabling NAT hairpinning or loopback. There are many threads on this forum with people having the same or similar issues.
