Port Forwarding
Hi, I have a program called PLEX which allows my computer to act as a server for my video content. I have installed the app and all is working fine within my network (at home), however the Remote Access is not working and that is one of the key features of this app. A while back I had a computer guy do a port forwarding (don't really know what this means), and he said that things should work fine from then on. However, that is not the case and I no longer have access to that guy so I need some help. My router is a Nighthawk X4 R7500 v2. Can some help please. Thanks.

Thank you. I had no idea it would create that many problems.

Well, it may not. But then again, it could. When it comes to security, viruses and malware are becoming extremely vicious and "they" only have to be lucky once. You have to be lucky every time.
As Horace Hussein al-Shamlan Bury said, "I do not bet the future of the human race at any odds." A good policy, and it should also apply to computer security.
and make sure your firewall is not blocking the port that you're using for Remote Access.
