Claim server 401 unauthorized

Server Version#:
Player Version#: 1.26.0.1531-92029e9e

My internal network IP is not recognized by Plex (starts with 158.238.xxx.xxx) and is on subnet (255.248.xxx.xxx).
So now I can’t claim my Plex Server.
I’ve found that I should use ClaimIt to solve that issue, but I only get one error: Job aborted.

So I took a look at the script ClaimIt is using and replicated all calls in postman.

That worked okay until I got to the call to claim my actual server. Then I get a 401 unauthorized.
I don’t see anything back in my log files, my credentials are correct (no 2fa because that gives another error earlier on).
So no I don’t really have an idea on how to claim my server.

Any ideas on why the 401 is displayed?

When using postman I use the following parameters to try and claim my server:

  • token
  • X-Plex-Client-Identifier
  • X-Plex-Token

I do perform the action on the same machine as where the server is running.
