Plex
I have three WDCloud Ultra 2 NAS drives with PLEX installed as I have data on three NAS drives
192.168.1.16. 192.168.1.17 & 192.168.1.18
I want to port forward 32400 to the NAS drives but once I have entered on my router it wont let me add another for 192.168.1.16 & 192.168.1.17
Plex |
192.168.1.18 |
32400 |
32400 |
All |
There isn't an option to select ANY IP to port 32400?
Hope I have explained it clear enough

Hi,
There can only be one forwarding rule for any given port number. Otherwise the router wouldn't know to which device inside its local network (the three NAS drives in your case) it should send the data packet(s) to.
Usually this problem is solved by using different external port numbers, like shown in the example below.
Service Name Device IP Address External Port Internal Port Protocol
Plex_18 192.168.1.18 32402 32400 All
Plex_17 192.168.1.17 32401 32400 All
Plex_16 192.168.1.16 32400 32400 All
However, this of course means that the client software on the devices that access the three Plex servers from the Internet needs to be set to the correct port number for each Plex server. Whether that is possible is another question.
