Taken from https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288666-Opening-Plex-Web-App
To open the Plex Web App from a device other than the server itself when on a different network, we have to create a local SSH tunnel to the server. This assumes that the server is running Linux, that SSH on the server is set up, and that the firewall/router in front of the server has ports forwarded for SSH and also for Plex Server.
On the local machine, open a terminal in Linux or open Putty on Windows.
Enter the command
The browser will connect to the server as if it were local and the Plex Web App will load and you can admin the Plex Server as if you were sitting at the local machine or on the local network.

Enter the command
ssh ip.address.of.server -L 8888:localhost:32400
This will look like a standard SSH session in the terminal, but any traffic directed over localhost:8888 will be directed through the SSH tunnel.
In a new web browser on the local system, enter http://localhost:8888/web into the address bar
