I switched from Plexamp to Symfonium because the Kef LSXII do not work with Plexamp (casting). However, when going outside/in the car, the plex server is unavailable.
Plexamp remote works with manual port forwarding.
I can add the Plex server in symfonium using the external IP address and port, but the server is not available when not connected to wifi.
I’ve turned off the Plex relay option but don’t really know what else to do.
So in summary, Plex remote works fine, just not through Symfonium.

Reproduction steps:
Plex server via manual port forward using external port 32501 to internal port 32400.
Plex server running on Linux Mint with UFW.
Turning off UFW makes no difference.

Nothing answers at your external IP and port 32501.
Just tested to connect too and it just timeout, this is usually a FW or provider settings to drop the packets, as most of the time, there’s quick errors.
Well this I did not expect.
I switched off my firewall router and I could access Plex via Symfonium remotely.
Then I reloaded my forward ports and now it’s available.
I haven’t changed the firewall (port forward) rules, so that’s actually interesting.
Hopefully it will continue to work.
I have sent more logs (under Geertidow2) to show it’s now working.
No idea what happened.
