      I have three subnets. One for LAN, and two VLANS one for Guest and one for IOT.

      Currently I have a synology running plex on the LAN subnet and a printer there too.
      The smart tvs are all on the IOT VLAN.

      What is best and safest way to allow a TCP access to 32400 on the synology to give access to plex? And also is there a way to put the printer somewhere (maybe in its own VLAN?) that can provide access from all subnets.

        @michael-2 Firewall rules are applied as packets enter an interface, so on each VLAN add a rule allowing access to the target LAN ip/port.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @michael-2 For the printer, beware that many times there is a broadcast to find a printer, such as a phone. For this to work it needs to be on the same VLAN as the device using it.
