After the most recent plex server updates I am unable to connect to my plex server securely.
When I try to connect through plex.tv I get the message "The selected server cannot be reached securely. An insecure connection may be possible. I can “reload app insecurely” and I am able to connect and view my library. Currently Remote Access is fully accessible outside of my network and Secure Connections is preferred.
However if I attempt to access my plex server through https://192.168.1.39:32400/web I get a browser error saying your connection is not private and goes on to say:
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID This server could not prove that it is 192.168.1.39; its security certificate is from *.45f22349c1e64d9db59cc0f7f6def650.plex.direct. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.
I can click proceed anyway in which case I’m brought back to the original plex error that I described of having to reload app insecurely.
If I attempt to go to this url in my browser
https://192-168-1-39.45f22349c1e64d9db59cc0f7f6def650.plex.direct
I get the browser error The site can’t be reached. https://192-168-1-39.45f22349c1e64d9db59cc0f7f6def650.plex.direct’s server DNS address could not be found. ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
Upon doing an NSLOOKUP on 192-168-1-39.45f22349c1e64d9db59cc0f7f6def650.plex.direct
it returns:
server: vdnssec1.srv.hc1ny.cv.net
address: 167.206.13.180
To my knowledge this is my ISP’s DNS server address.
My server has Centos 7 installed on it with apache and Bind DNS, I use webmin to manage and configure the two servers. I have a Linksys AE4200. On which all the proper ports are forwarded. I have read into the DNS rebinding issue and I am not aware of any settings on this router for that. I don’t know much about how plex’s whole system works now with all this but if I had to assume I would say there is some sort of conflict between my web/dns server and plex. I run plex on this server because it is always on in order to host my websites. Has anyone had any issues similar to this? Is there something I need to configure in bind in order to get this to work properly? I understand that the server currently works if I refresh the app insecurely but I would like to get it working without having to do that. Any help you guys could provide would be appreciated.
