      I'm having an issue with allowing Plex to have outside network access, initially it worked fine suing the guide on the Plex forums, but latley i'm getting a constant error message that reads:

      There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug91: syntax error - The line in question reads [91]: rdr on igb1 inet proto tcp from any to ! port $Plex -> 192.168.30.105

      Any help deciphering would be much appreciated.

        @Silentknight well errors loading rules can cause all sorts of problems, ie other rules hot loading as well.

        I would delete whatever rule you have causing the error, and recreate it.

          I ended up deleting every rule, enabled UPnP and Plex seems happy for now.

            @Silentknight plex is a simple port forward.. I sure wouldn't enable UPnP.
