Setting up SSH tunnel
This guide will show you how to set up ssh tunnel using putty. Guide has mainly been created to provide necessary information to initially set up your PLEX server in case remote access is disabled by default. If this is the case, you will need to access server "locally" to go around and enable remote access from PLEX to use it from other locations
