Plex with OpenVPN

[mathais]

Hi, Without OpenVPN, I can full access top my plex server from outside.
But, when I activate OpenVPN with nordvpn (dedicated IP), Plex server can't be accessible from outside.

I try to understand the NAT rules, but I can't find a solution.

Without VPN I use this NAT rule

But I don't know how I can parameter it with OpenVPN.
I tried :

Thanks helping me

@mathais
Are you trying to access Plex over the VPN?
If so, is this forwarded by the provider?

If not, it should work with the normal WAN port forwarding rule.

[mathais]

@viragomann yes it works well with normal Wan interface.

I use NordVpn with dedicated IP.
I will look if port forward is allowed… I don’t know…

[mathais]

@viragomann so thank you very much!!!

Port forward is not supported actually.

@mathais said in Plex with OpenVPN:

Even if it was, the VPN provider would habe to configure this accordingly.
This would not be done automatically. So you would know it.

@mathais Have you looked into using a solution like Tailscale to make this work? It should be able to traverse your VPN regardless of how NordVPN has it set up...

Setting up what Tailscale calls a "subnet router" in your network and changing your Plex settings to work with webview through this server... obviously you need to run tailscale clients on your devices that want to access your Plex server.
