Gateway default and Plex Media Server setup
Gateway default and Plex Media Server setup
Hi, I understand your situation with Kubuntu as your Plex Media server. You're using two Ethernet ports—one directly connected to your modem and another linked to a switch for WAN access. Because of double NAT via Google WiFi, you need to configure the default gateway correctly. The command you used works initially but requires reapplying it after a restart. Since adjusting the preferred interface in Plex didn’t help, you might want to save your default gateway settings manually or use a script that persists them at boot. Let me know if you'd like guidance on storing this information securely.
For Kubuntu running on it, modify the network settings and set a static IP. Go to System Settings -> Connections -> IPV4 -> Manual. If needed, disable your existing network manager like NetworkManager. Refer to the dhcpcd documentation for setup instructions.
Yes, it should be possible. You just need to launch the Plex web interface and navigate to the remote access part so it’s available outside your home network.
I don’t know about Plex or media servers, so I might not be able to assist there. I can only share the link to their Remote Access article: https://support.plex.tv/articles/2002895...te-access/
