Terramaster F4-223 NAS Firewall RULES

#1
Hello
I am in the process of finalizing my Plex setup on my Terramaster F4-223 NAS. I have set a local firewall rule with the IP range of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255 and allowed all ports so the devices on my network have access to the NAS.
I also need my Plex server on the NAS to be able to talk to the internet so it can pull down the metadata for shows I add to my Plex libraries.
I have tried using the rule of allow all Ip's with port 32400 selected , but when i tried to activate this rule before while having the local IP rule set up and active it crashed the firewall. Not sure if this is normal or not. Ever since I have been trying to come up with a solution to allow Plex internet access while also having the local rule active. My temporary solution is to turn off the local firewall rule when I need to move files into Plex Libraries so Plex can pull down the metadata then re-enable the local firewall rule. any help would be much appreciated

Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you’re on the right track, but the issue with the firewall crashing when adding a new rule can be tricky.

To allow your Plex server to access the internet while keeping your local firewall rule active, consider creating a specific rule for Plex that only allows traffic on port 32400 for your NAS's IP. This way, you won't have to disable your local access rule.

If the firewall still crashes, you might want to check for firmware updates for your Terramaster or consult their support, as it could be a bug in the firewall software.
