The Port Mapping to the server is correct and corresponds to the static IP-address of the server. I checked wether there was an exception for PMS when the firewall was switched on and there is incoming connections are accepted for PMS, even when the firewall is switched on.Īlso, the server has a static IP-address, of course, as it handles a few other services for client computers: my AEX has several reserved IP-addresses for network computers based on their MAC-addresses and this has never let me down. The built-in Firewall is switched off, so that should not hinder PMS. Note: the AEX is behind a cable modem which is in Bridge Modus.

The things I found on the internet use the ipfw-command, which is deprecated in Mavericks. Also I would like to learn how I can open up a specific port in OS X Server/Mavericks, maybe using Terminal. I don't know where to look to confirm wether or not it is true that the Adaptive Firewall is blocking, but maybe some of you can point out where to look.

When the block was released and I could VPN back into my server I also noticed that mounted Network shares from within the LAN were ejected. Attempts to connect from outside the LAN using the Portforwarding brings down the server, or at least services like the VPN-service. The Firewall in OS X server is off, according to System Preferences, but I figured that Apple's Adaptive Firewall is blocking access through this port. Although the Port Mapping looks as if it set correctly within Airport Utility, a port scan reveals that it isn't. For this MyPlex-service to work I have made a Port Mapping in my Airport Extreme (AEX) pointing to my Mac Mini running PMS-software. PMS uses a service called MyPlex for any Plex clients you have outside of your LAN (like iPhones, iPads or roaming MacBooks) to connect to PMS easily. I am running Plex Media Server (PMS) on a Mac Mini and OS X Server (10.9.4) and I am having issues with it to function properly.
