<![CDATA[Port forwarding problems]]>I am trying to forward port 32400 so my plex can be accessed from outside of the house. I have read many tutorials on the port forwarding and not sure what I am doing wrong

My current set up
2 WAN ports (set up for failover)

  • WAN (microwave connection)
  • OPT1 (FTTC)

Attached is what i have so far and not sure why the plex is failing when attempting to forward the port

Edited (11-Oct) removed screen shot that showed disabled rules and attached new LAN-FW screen shot

Maybe you should back off the cool shit like multi-wan and failover until you have the basics like port forwards and rules down.

Good list of things to check here:

I have 2 WAN connections, one WAN is just a backup and the other WAN is the primary connection. I don't load balance only use fail over features.

Not sure about your setup. Whatever you are telling plex to connect to.

Are you sure plex is TCP only?

Anything interesting in the firewall logs?

I disabled the 2nd rule because someone said all I needed was the one rule. I want my main OPT1(FTTC) rule to be my main WAN for the house and the 2nd WAN (Microwave) to be my backup connection

I removed the disabled rules to eliminate confusion

I don't understand the way you configure failover. I though it was more like "defining one gateway group" and add one rule at LAN level target this virtual gateway.
I notice you have 2 rules and this is not clear to me.
