Corbula Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I just wanted to find out if DDNS is available in the router yet? Basically, I have a plex media server setup on a machine which is behind a VPN. Which means I can't access my PMS remotely (well I can but indirectly through Plex's own Relay servers which are very limiting). If it possible to set a DDNS such as DynDNS or No-IP in the router so I can access Plex directly when not at home? I will point out this isn't a massive issue for me, I just wanted to find out if it's possible as it would be much better to be able to do this. Thanks all.

Nope, but I use no-ip and they have a client that will run on your PC and update any time your IP changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00stg0d Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 If you have a plex server, setup a VNC server on the same box and then use tight vnc form the remote device. as posted above most dyndns services have a stand alone service you can download for routers that don't have the options for dyndns. for remote access you'll just set the port you want to use on the server side application and then forward in the duma. then when you access from remote just use myplexserver.ddns.net:5900 or whatever you set up.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2016 No not currently though there has been an interest in this feature so we will try to implement it if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbula Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ok, thanks guys. I will take a look as I didn't realise they had a standalone client. The machine is running linux so I will have to see if they have an application for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbula Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Right, when I've looked into this it seems it won't work. The reason being the DDNS service (No-IP or similar) needs to be on the router to matched the router IP. If it was on the machine that I'm using Plex on it will be the same as it is now due to it being behind the VPN IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
