Plex Firewall Question - Brain Fart

ReVRiN · 21. November 2016

I'm sleep deprived from work and I'm having a brain fart. What am I doing wrong with my firewall.
Lets say for the sake of argument that my Router is 192.192.192.1 and my Server is 192.192.192.10 should I be placing those values in the source and destination column.

Would a 192.192.192.0/24 cover all sources?

What is that you want to do?

Also the address 192.192.192.x is public space. Hope you're not using as your internal network.

Oops yes that is a horrible IP example. I'm just trying to get the OMV Network firewall set up so that all clients on the internal network see the Plex Media Server.

Hypothetically speaking the Router is 10.44.10.1 OMV is 10.44.10.10

When I manually type 10.44.10.1:32400 in my browser nothing shows up. It simply looks for servers all day long. We have 5 MAC devices, 8 PC's, and 2 servers. In Windows 10 under Media Devices Plex Media Server appears yet I still can't hit it.

Well the default policy in the iptables filter chain is ALLOW in Debian. So your problem is plex is not running probably. Forget about the firewall, delete those rules.

All rules deleted, and you are correct Plex is still not running.

Just an update I got 15 hours of sleep. Formatted the bejesus out of the OMV 3.0 box installed OMV 2.0 and everything started up and running normally.

Lesson is never try something new if you are not rested.
