I did not make a “first” or “second” post about this. This is it.
Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!

As was stated on the first post you made about this, it’s a dns or nat reflection issue.
Plex sees you accessing it through your external IP address, and not through your lan IP.
I had a similar problem, and had to roll back some nat changes I made, and now it’s working fine again.

This sounds like a whole lot of convoluted bullshit to use Plex locally and “looking local” through VPN solutions when you could just roll a Jellyfin instance and do things a more straightforward way…

Yeah, but my wife and kid also use it, and they’re not going to be happy if I change things.
