With simple port forwarding in DD-WRT of the port needed for Plex configured, all outside requests (regardless of IP) over that port would be forwarded to 192.168.2.200.

Storage Server: UnRAID server holding all my media - 192.168.2.210 Media Server: Plex Media Server as a Virtual Machine on ESXi 5.5 host - 192.168.2.200 Router/Firewall: DD-WRT Router with port forwarding for Plex to my Media Sever box (running on a VM box) - 192.168.2.1 Then I'll explain what I'm hoping to accomplish bringing my new pfSense box into play. This is not a setup that applies to most users.Let me just give you a quick overview of what my network (at least those parts that matter here) looked like before pfSense was in the picture. This includes those hosted in a data center as well as machines on a “local network” that have been put into the “DMZ” (the “de-militarized zone”) of the network router. Warning!: For security, we very strongly recommend that you do not allow any of these “additional” ports through the firewall or to be forwarded in your router, in cases specifically where your Plex Media Server is running on a machine with a public/WAN IP address. TCP: 32469 (access to the Plex DLNA Server).TCP: 8324 (controlling Plex for Roku via Plex Companion).

UDP: 5353 (older Bonjour/Avahi network discovery).UDP: 1900 (access to the Plex DLNA Server).The following additional ports are also used within the local network for different services:
