### Plex Setup

# If you can access our plex server via a VM or interface, you can probably access it. Scroll down to Plex Optimization.
# Setup a remote PLEX server or a headless machine and cannot access your PLEX Server? Read the info below
# You cannot access or setup anything if your plex is not on a LOCAL MACHINE (meaning remote)

### Required
# Windows Machine & Putty
# Linux Users / MAC Users - You'll need to find your own solution.  VMWare with Window is great for MAC Users.

### Creating a tunnel to access your remote machine
# Load putty
# Type in your remote-ipaddress and port 22 and select SSH
# On the left side of the menu expand CONNECTION > SSH > Tunnels
#  - Source Port: 6969
#  - Destination: remote-ipaddress:32400
#  - [Click] Open
#  - Login and keep the terminal putty open
# Open your browser (Chrome best choice)
#  - Type: http://localhost:6969/web or (if you forget the web part, you will get a whole bunch of XML garbage)
#  - You will now be able to setup PLEX
#  - Double check by opening a new window or tab and type http://ipv4address:32400/web
