Can I use PLEX outside of local network?

---

Its configured using my internal IP, is it possible to somehow use it on my tablet, from like work or something using an external IP?

Yes, link the server with your myPlex account and log into another Plex client with your credentials.

Will it work outside a network? Yes, if you configure things right, but Plex sucks.

Nope, maybe your desktop computer isn't powerful enough for live transcodes, what bitrate are you using? Try lowering it.

It should be, and my internets fast. Where do I set the bit rate? Any suggestions?

If you're on the local network the speed of your Internets is irrelevant. Internet speed (specifically upstream capability of your Internet in combination with the download stream available to the Prime) only matters when you're on a remote network.

In Qloud you can set the global bitrate settings for different types of connections. I find Qloud sometimes doens't pick up the right value, but that's ok since you get a chance to also set it before you play a video too. Here's a video of me doing it (please excuse the crappy video recording quality of the phone I used to record this).
