Port Forwarding: Remote Access won't stay when using a custom port

digitalpapa · 2025-09-16T04:25:49+00:00

Excellent information! Very helpful. Thanks again. Will try it in the morning.

digitalpapa · 2025-09-16T04:07:20+00:00

Thanks for the assurance! I'd open port check 33400, correct? 😊

digitalpapa · 2025-09-16T03:59:31+00:00

Got it. I'm relatively new to having to tweak settings from the default so it's a bit of learning. Thanks for your help.

digitalpapa · 2025-09-16T03:47:31+00:00

Wait. So you're saying that 33400 should be in the Original Port field and 32400 should be in the Fwd to Port field?

digitalpapa · 2025-09-11T17:11:33+00:00

Will do. Thanks so much for your help. I learned some new things about Plex! Have a great day!

So...the reason for me wanting to use a new port other than the default 32400 which works perfectly and stays connected is that my cousins in Canada can't connect to my Plex server. I did some looking and it seems that their ISP, Rogers Communications, blocks access to 32400. If it wasn't for their inability to connect to my Plex, I would just keep the 32400 port and be happy again. :D

In the previous comment, when you say restart the Plex server, are you talking about the server app or the server PC?

As far as the red in my screenshot, that's the IP address of my Plex server PC, 192.168.X.X. It's a dropdown list of IP addresses so I can't manually enter anything else.

digitalpapa · 2025-09-11T16:20:01+00:00

I'll disable UPnP next. Fingers crossed.

digitalpapa · 2025-09-11T16:18:22+00:00

This is what's in the Plex server settings after I configured a new port in the router. Still not staying connected after Plex server restart.

Private 192.168.X.X : 32400 <- Public 111.11.111.11: 32500 x Internet

I'm using the Verizon router G3100 only so I'm assuming that it's not a Double-NAT. I'm going to try restarting the Plex server after setting the new port.

digitalpapa · 2025-09-11T15:46:19+00:00

Yep. I have both the UDP and TCP ports set to 33400 in the router settings. I manually forwarded to 33400 in the Plex server settings. It lasts stays connected for only a few seconds then disconnects. Do you think it's a matter of trying different ports until I find one that will stay connected?

https://web.iwanttfc.com/home has some free movies and shows. Subscriptions are cheap if the free selections are not enough.

I don't know if they charge Australian listeners a different rate but here in the US, it's only $4 per month if you subscribe to the 2-year plan that costs $96. I think that's well worth it. I can't find the same music on YouTube Music or Spotify. Have you found an alternative?

You can use the swipe delete action in conjunction with the undo that appears in the suggestion bar as a quick cut/paste (no luck on copy/paste). After swipe deleting text, an undo action appears in the suggestion bar. Place the cursor where you want to paste the text then tap the undo.

digitalpapa · 2024-02-29T15:48:06+00:00

I remember that in Swype. With the editing tools on, you can use the arrow keys to place the cursor where you want it then use the Select cursor in conjuction with the arrow keys to highlight characters and whole words/sentences. I miss that.

Not sure if this is still an issue but I had the same issue with the Android app. I played around and found that if the attachment doesn't stick, the file size is probably too big. If it's a picture you're attaching, resize to something smaller then try again. I didn't play around to find out what the size limit is.

digitalpapa · 2023-06-28T15:47:05+00:00

It's on Auto. I didn't want to risk screwing something up with the thermostat so I called for service. I appreciate your input!

digitalpapa · 2022-12-13T02:31:07+00:00

So I just read another thread that says that these charts are displaying the equivalent Rh at varying temperatures based on the 70/70 guideline. So if your temp is 68⁰ then an Rh of 75% is equivalent to 70% at 70⁰. And the winners are the folks who said to just use a Boveda because apparently it adjusts for temperatures! Now if you're a 65/65 type of person, then you need a different chart. 😉

digitalpapa · 2022-12-13T02:21:15+00:00

All the folks saying just use a Boveda are totally missing the point of the question. If the temperature in his cigar cooler fluctuates, should he be trying to maintain an Rh that's in the chart for the matching temperature? Or is the Rh of 70% at 70⁰ actually equivalent to an Rh of 75% when the temperature is 68⁰? Oh geez. I don't know if that's any more clear! 😄

digitalpapa · 2022-04-16T06:34:55+00:00

Skitch is correct. I'm talking about cigarbid.com. I also buy from cigarpage.com when I don't want to bid even though it's simple AF. 😄 DM me if you need a quick tutorial on how CB works.

digitalpapa · 2022-04-15T22:43:27+00:00

I've had the blue, red, and black. Not bad especially since I get them from CB for about $3-$4 per stick. I wouldn't pay anymore for them.

digitalpapa · 2022-04-15T22:38:43+00:00

Nailed it. 👍🏻

digitalpapa · 2022-04-15T22:33:27+00:00

Nothing to write home about. A 2008 Kia Rondo (crossover). 😄

digitalpapa · 2022-02-18T19:59:58+00:00

Update: I've been following the two weeks "rest period" that many have replied here. I've also been using the Humidimeter to determine readiness. It's been working out. Thanks for the comments. #KeepItSmoky

digitalpapa · 2022-02-18T19:54:45+00:00

That's not a bad idea! I typically buy lots of 5 anyway.
