Thanks, super useful. WIll probably need to figure out a solution to non static IP but that shouldnt be too hard
rogan-
I use https://www.noip.com/ for a static IP. Free for one IP so long as you confirm it each month. (Although you don't need it for Plex, that works through the Plex servers.)

yup. I just needed to add port forwarding rules on my router for plex (32400 by default I think) and apple screen sharing (5900?) with the apple one I forward a different port number just so it's not obvious that's what the port is for.
as i have a static ip at home I use a subdomain to point to everything. so when not on my home network I have bookmarks for homesweethome.hatbeard.com:32400 for example.
you might need plexpass as well to get it working perfectly externally but it's cheap as chips per month for the convenience.
