Just because the destination IP address is not a LAN address? That’s not misconfiguration, that’s a legitimate use of NAT reflection/loopback. If that’s how it determines who is streaming remotely then just run it behind nginx that forgets to set the correct headers.
Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!

It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.

But I keep hearing the value of Plex is that anyone can use it.
Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yes anyone can use it even people who don’t know how to configure their server

The OP might disagree from what I’m seeing.

OP is also in the allegedly ultra rare camp of “successfully configured Jellyfin and lived to tell the tale.” Not what I’d expect of someone unable to configure Plex correctly. I’ve not set up a Plex server myself but my guess is it wasn’t clear that it was misconfigured - it did work previously, after all.
