Can't access plex server from any apps or web browser (maybe IP related)

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Server Version#:1.30.0
Player Version#:Web/multiple)

Last night there was no issues with watching my media from my desktop and firestick. Today, nothing can see the plex app on the QNAP server. When I click open on the Plex app inside the QNAP server the new tab spins and doesn’t show a url. Nothing has changed in my setup from last night except a couple threatlist I use to block IP address on my firewalls. Looking at those logs and checking domains against IPs, I don’t see anything plex.tv related.

Is there a list of IPs I can find somewhere that I can whitelist or is there something else going on?

Plex is RFC-1918 based for the home LAN.
It does require WAN connectivity for auth & codecs

It also is fundamentally starts out as single segment (subnet).

3

Yes and since my 1918, nor it’s connectivity changed, it’s not my subnet.

“It does require WAN connectivity for auth & codecs”

What are those IPs or are they FQDNs that change their IPs “randomly”

I came across this: traefik-geo.plex.bz

Which I suspect is one of the FQDNs, but then why Belize?

can you show me where you found this?

In a log file or console ?

5

No, I can not.

Is that one of the FQDNs (and corresponding IPs) I should be adding to a white list?

Ah, Thank you for sharing why the query.

Please do add it.

While you’re adding, *.plex.bz will get everything in one record.
I recommend this because, from time to time, different hosts become active based on traffic loads, scheduled maintenance. or failures.
