Cannot set up the Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.40.0.7998

Cannot set up the Plex Media Server

Fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM
Fresh Plex Media Server installation

I call up the Plex via http://172.16.20.200/web and get
the following message:

No authorization
You do not have permission to access this server.

You can probably assign it to your account by selecting “Open Plex…” from the MacOS menu bar or the Windows system tray. For more troubleshooting tips, see .

What am I doing wrong?

Are you inside the same subnet when trying to connect to your server in order to finish the setup?

[edit: got my first response wrong]

The server runs in my home lab, I am connected to the server in the office at work via VPN

Can this cause the error?

Shame on my head.

Just tested with a VM in the same subnet. It works.
Thanks for the food for thought

The URL should be https://your IP adress:32400/web
