I have always connected via a FQDN, for some reason last night it decided to shit it’s self. Resolved by accessing via local IP, then the FQDN worked again
Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network

I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

I’ll shit on Plex as much as anyone, but I wouldn’t rule out some kind of DNS nonsense here.

It means the same specific subnet. If you have multiple subnets (one for wired, one for wireless for example) it will also trigger that limitation unless you go in and manually tell it hey these are local.

Think they worked out that using the IP instead of the hostname solved it.

Yes, but they’re still sending emails to people even when it doesn’t apply. I had a Plex pass and still all of my users received emails and freaked out. They’re trying to trick people into thinking they need to pay, that’s the asshole move here.

Right, the $2 is to use the relay service, which costs Plex bandwidth. They can’t just do it free for everyone forever, bandwidth costs money.

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

People are free to take some rando on the Internet up on their offer.
xcjs@programming.dev 9 months ago They charge for remote access whether it’s through their relay service or not, and you can’t opt out of fallback to their relay service.

If you connect with the IP address it doesn’t charge you. You can use ZeroTier to connect from anywhere.

That’s not quite the same - that gives you the appearance of being a local device, which is enough to fool the restriction.
Their policy and technology enforcement is to charge for remote access, not relaying.

except not via mobile devices. you have to pay for the app to work.
