I just wanted to let you know there is a group on FB that is taking advantage of an old setting that got carried over to the newer version allowing remote access for outside unauthenticated users…
Decided this was ok to do as its the fault of the server admins who had some of the earlier editions of the code ended up with this bug…
FYI, this was not a bug. The setting in question was never activated by default Plex software releases.
What did happen is this: some plex user built a pre-configured “jail” for FreeBSD / FreeNAS with Plex server. He did set this preference without warning those users who downloaded it.
Telling the server to work without authentication was just less difficult to get it to work in this specific operating system with its concept of segregated “jails”.
Ironically, a concept introduced to improve security - go figure…
