Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica
horse@feddit.org 1 week agoI don’t think simply forwarding the port actually works with free Plex anymore. I think if the server has a different public IP from the client it asks you to pay, even if you’re connecting to the server over LAN.

Interesting, maybe they check whether it’s a domain/remote IP on the client side to prevent usage of a reverse proxy.

I checked the logs and it said it was assuming a remote connection because there was an unknown hostname in the headers (I forget the exact wording). It was because the hostname I was using didn’t match the hostname configured in the server’s OS (one I set up on my local DNS server).
