I am currently having problems access your service froma web. The status pages says down from my network on ISP Vmedia 198.251.55.45. If I go to [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) in my browser I get a cloudflare error code 522 host error. this occurred around 6:50 AM EST 22-July-2026 [https://status.plex.tv/](https://status.plex.tv/) ![plextv issue](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/7/5/b/75b5f3d6267622af12824e34719d8a68d1026e88.png) ---

Maybe it’s regional but I am still getting this 522 error trying the web app in Chrome even on the server itself, not over my network. This is confusing to me because I thought we should be able to access our own local server even if Plex is offline. ---

Can’t access via [app.plex.tv](http://app.plex.tv), but it’s working if use the ip of pms. In my case, I just click the container icon on Unraid and select WebUI, and it works that way. ---

Seems it might just be Cloudflare having issues, and not Plex per se: > **[Cloudflare Status](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/)** > > Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance. ---

Plex is currently down for maintenance/having an outage. Most likely the culprit. Can take a look at either downdetector or [status.plex.tv](http://status.plex.tv/) When I attempt to sign in on my plex app on windows 11 I get a “Plex is down for maintenance” message. ---
