#Routing plex traffic through an SSH tunnel

This guide creates a reverse SSH tunnel to route all Plex server traffic through it.

Step 2 is done on the tunnel, all other steps are done on the plex server.

#1. Setup SSH keys (if you already have key based authenthication setup skip to step 2)

On plex server: 
  

grenade

#!/bin/bash

# generate new personal ed25519 ssh key
ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "rob thijssen <rthijssen@gmail.com>"

# generate new host cert authority (host_ca) ed25519 ssh key
# used for signing host keys and creating host certs
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f manta_host_ca -C manta.network

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
