Cannot access plex.tv only on specific PC

Wonderful fix.

I don’t know why it would happen but I think this occurred when we lost power. The hosts file had a bunch of old IPs in it.

I deleted the IPs and it works. I was even able to set up the PIA VPN with the split tunneling again and have everything working.

Thank you @CostaHT!

THANK YOU! I was battling for days to get this resolved then I came across this posting. Ran a DNS flush and BOOM! resolved. Thanks!

I’m slow and cannot figure this out. I typed that command in but I really dont know what to look for or do from this point. I’m having the same issues, I can get to plex.tv from anywhere but my Plex server. If anyone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks in advance

You’re not answering the two questions. That would be a good start.

Did you see anything with Plex in it when you ran the first commandline?

What was the output of the second command?

localhost name resolution is handled within dns itself

172.104.211.98 pubsub.plex.tv

all of the above are added by VPN bypass which I didn’t even realize I still had on this machine and have since removed.

NSlookup plex.tv gives me the following

Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: Plex.tv
Adresses: 99.81.164.127

Apologies I didn’t get this info up last night, thank you very much for the response and any help you can give.
