Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family

External access is necessary. If you block access to your home plex, remote users can’t see it because Plex handles the login for remote users.
Also adding IP addresses into “allow access” so Plex works when your local server can’t reach it’s Plex Inc gives admin access to any IP’s listed.
External access is not necessary for home use, because I don’t have any remote users.
Its not just home use but when you are the only user in the house. You don’t want kids to have admin access and accidentally delete files.

Just completely offline with home DNS as IP right? Thie still sucks and i think there needs to be more feedback to the dev forum.
