Hi all,  
I recently started over with my server, running Linux Mint. Plex is installed normally (not in Docker).  
I have connection issues when trying to use my box Plexamp to control the server’s player (either web or Plexamp.

Error logs have these lines repeating:

```auto

```

192.168.20.100 is the lan address of the server  
192.168.192.171 is the Zerotier ip of the server

I’m hoping to get this all set up solidly behind Zerotier and not have to worry about reverse proxies or open ports or any of that.  
Have I done something wrong? How should I set up the server settings and Plexamp?
