According to an announcement published on Plex’s Web site on February 5, 2020 Plex Media Server instances which have either been deployed on a public-facing network DMZ or in an Internet Data Center (IDC), or with manually configured port-forwarding rules which forward specific UDP ports from the public Internet to devices running Plex Media. I opened the same ports on the Fortigate I used for my previous router. I have created a virtual IP group 'PC server' with the 4 virtual IPs and created a IP4 policy called port forwarding. Incoming interface is WAN 1 which is connected to the cable modem, outgoing interface is 'internal' which is LAN port 1 and connected to an access point.
Overview
