Plex Configuration, stuck behind CGNAT

Support
1

ISP switched to CGNAT. Will this work with plex and if so how do I configure? Not looking for anything fancy just plex running on Win 11 so I can stream when traveling.

Every TMobile 5G Home Internet (TMHI) user is behind CGNAT and I think hundreds would be interested in knowing if pinggy.io can solve it.

Hello,
Pinggy.io can help if you want to share some application from local network. For example, if you want to share a website running on localhost:80, then Pinggy is helpful.

Or for enabling SSH access to one of your computers in your network, you can do:

  1. Open terminal or command prompt.

  2. Paste the following command in the terminal (replace 22 with the port you want to forward):

    ssh -p 443 -R0:localhost:22 tcp@free.pinggy.io

  3. After running the tunneling command, you will receive a public URL in the following format: tcp://tljocjkijs.a.pinggy.link:40527You can use this address and port to connect to your local port from outside the local network.

  4. Sign in to https://dashboard.pinggy.io to get persistent URLs and persistent TCP ports for your tunnels.

Thanks… I know you are trying to help but the OP asked about how to use pinggy.io to allow a local Plex media server behind CGNAT to be reached by HTTP/HTTPS remote friends/family/etc.

A Self-Hosted Plex Server by “default” uses port 32400 (can be changed by the admin for the Plex server).

And remote access to view Media on that Plex server normally works fine for remote family/friends.

But most ISP implementing CGNAT do not provide a static IPv4 to your local server.

Plex users are trying hard to find an easy to implement solution and pinggy.io might be that.
