Hi all,
I've been browsing the forums, but could not find an answer to my problem. As soon as i enable my firewall (UFW) on an Ubuntu 15 server, plex.tv is no longer able to reach my server over HTTPS.
Plex Media Server Version: 0.9.12.19
OS:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10
Codename: wily
I've checked what ports Plex (seemingly) is using:
$ netstat -tulpn | grep Plex
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32400 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 32690/Plex Media Se
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32401 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 32690/Plex Media Se
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:45273 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 32697/Plex Plug-in
Tried a whole bunch of different ports (scraped from various sources, and by comparing the output of netstat -ln with the PMS running and killed):
$ cat /etc/ufw/applications.d/plex
[PlexMediaServer]
title=Plex Media Server
description=PMS ufw settings
ports=32469/tcp|32413/udp|1900/udp|32412/udp|32410/udp|32414/udp|32400/tcp|32433/tcp|32401/tcp|45762/tcp|445/tcp|32690/tcp|32697/tcp|45237/tcp
$ ufw app update plex
$ ufw allow plex
$ ufw enable
But, as soon as i enable the firewall, secure connections simply refuse to work. I know that SSL should simply be running on the 32400 TCP port. However, with the above listed UFW-profile, plex.tv (or, actually, any of the other apps as well) won't connect over HTTPS. As soon as i disable the firewall, secure connections are working just fine again.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Kind Regards,
