Hello,
I'm having some trouble with something, as I'm new to FreeNAS but a long time PLEX user. I've setup a headless freeNAS server on on old computer and I've been using the Plex media server on FreeNAS for months now, it works perfectly. However, I just recently needed to access PLEX remotely and ran into some issues. First an indirect connection, but now no access at all. Here are my steps so far (Using a Netgear R6300 AC router):

I've setup a headless freeNAS server on on old computer and I've been using the Plex media server on FreeNAS for months now, it works perfectly. However, I just recently needed to access PLEX remotely and ran into some issues. First an indirect connection, but now no access at all. Here are my steps so far (Using a Netgear R6300 AC router):
- In my router I reserved my freeNAS server IP and my Plex JAIL IP so they are static (My Host computer's ethernet and wireless IPs are also static)
- In PLEX, under settings > remote access, I set the port to 32400
- On the router settings, I went to port triggering/forwarding and set a forward that I named for PLEX, putting 32400 as all 4 internal and external port spaces, and then I put the IP for my PLEX jail as the IP address there (again, I reserved this as static in the router)
- On the FreeNAS web GUI, I went into my PLEX jail under settings, the IPV4 is correct there and my router gateway IP is set under IPV4 gateway.
- UPnP is turned off in the router and NAT is unchecked in the jail configuration
