This caught my attention and I was concerned since I have a plex server with port 32400 open to the internet. Annoyingly, the ars and Slashdot don't explain the actual plex setting to disable. It's GDM, and anyone with half a brain would disable that anyhow.

And for those who don't know where that setting is, it's under "Network" (learn from my mistake and don't go hunting for it in "Remote Access" instead!). You'll also need to show advanced settings for it to show up.

Now, it's automatic!
That, and "stupid" is the new "smart". Because people that actually know what they are doing are expensive.
The Plex Media Server DOES NOT add a NAT forwarding rule for UDP traffic; only for TCP traffic to port 32400.
I should know, I wrote the code.
