You could enter your entire local network range or just specific devices separated by commas in the “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth” box. The Solutionįortunately, Plex has a setting to allow the network addresses you specify to access Plex without authorization on the “Settings > Network” page. It was very frustrating to not to be able to log into my server on my own network when the Internet was down. Being on the local network does not matter. Even if you are already signed into Plex on your devices, you still cannot access your Plex server. However, there is a tradeoff – it requires an Internet connection. The login experience is seamless regardless of where you sign in. When you create a Plex account, it makes it easy to login to your server both inside and outside of your home network.
I began Googling about the issue and after some searching, I found the solution. I tried restarting Plex and still nothing. I then tried to access the web interface and the same thing happened. Imagine my dismay when my Internet was down in my neighborhood and receiving an error accessing Plex on the Apple TV. Being in control of your own data increases privacy. With self hosting, you do not need to rely on the Internet and cloud services. I have been running Plex Media Server for quite a few years and enjoy self hosting all of my family’s media files.
