Cannot connect with browser on local network (Android works)

Plex Media Server
1

I have Plex (lifetime pass) running within a Docker container on my Unraid server. I’ve had issues connecting remotely occasionally but I am suddenly having problems connecting thru my web browser even when on my local network (both wifi and hard wired).

I’ve tried the regular app.plex.tv address as well as trying port 32400 on my Server (i.e. 192.168.xx.xx:32400).

Oddly enough, I have two android devices that connect fine thru the Android App. I am able to see play files from my local libraries with no issue. I am not able to connect using a browser on those Android devices though.

I had set up a VPN on my Deco router earlier in the day. I can’t see how setting up a VPN would affect anything with a local connection, but in any case I tried disabling it and have now deleted it. I have also tried toggling UPNP on and off but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Since I can’t connect to the web player, I am not able to view change any settings on my Plex server. Besides, I haven’t changed any settings on it for quite a long time.

I have updated and reset my Plex container, rebooted my router, and rebooted PC’s. I’ve tried connecting on a different browser, and signing out and back in of my account in the browser. I’m pretty much out of ideas. Any help out there?

You need to update your server software version. Plex Media Server - Security Update - #3 by PlexInfo

Well I got this resolved. Apparently my network tinkering was the cause of my connection problems. I was having some connection issues with certain features in my Unraid server, so I figured the problem was more than something in Plex. I did a factory reset on my router/wifi and everything immediately worked.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the VPN’s that I want set up without messing something up with my connection again.
