so if you are already logged in and go to [https://plex.tv/link](https://plex.tv/link) it logs you out? usually it is browser extensions or adblockers that cause issues with the page

I’m having the same issue. plex.tv/link keeps prompting me to sign in even though I’m already signed in. This is a new issue as I was able to link a device a few days ago.

If I click Sign In with Firefox’s Web Developer tool open set to the Network tab I see some NS\_BINDING\_ABORTED\_ errors.

Pretty sure that error means the browser is not allowing the site to check your signed in status because the sign in page is a slightly different URL and is treating it like it is a different site. Does it work in another browser?

Did either of you used the app shown here: [[How To] Bypass VPN for Plex](https://forums.plex.tv/t/how-to-bypass-vpn-for-plex/417665/1)  
?  
If so, clean out your `hosts` file, reboot the computer and try again.

No, I did not use that program. I don’t have plex going through any sort of VPN.

We are looking into it. I am wondering if you can do it on a smart phone web browser? also if you can try in an incognito/private window

I’m having the same issue and have also tried opening plex.tv/link in an incognito window. No change, it keeps reloading the same sign-in page over and over.

If any of you can try to load the page up and copy the browsers console log to a txt file and message it to me (click my username and click message) I can pass it along to our website devs.

I’ve got the five XHR errors in firefox’s console log but there doesn’t appear to be any conventional error messages. I can provide a picture of the console log.
