DNS Question

i've been using an American DNS so i can access different netflix content on my Apple TV but since changing the DNS on my ATV to the computer running plex media server i can't access the American netflix content.  I've set my DNS on my plex server to the American DNS in hopes that the traffic routes through my computer to access netflix but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

Just need to check you've changed it in the right place.  The steps should be:

  1. change ATV dns to point to your Plex Connect Server
  2. change the line in your settings.cfg file to your American DNS eg:
[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_dnsmaster =
ip_webserver = 0.0.0.0
loglevel = Normal
enable_dnsserver = True
ip_pms = 192.168.1.101 <>
port_webserver = 80
 
I'm worried you've changed the dns on your plex media server instead - can you confirm you've only done the above?
 
The DNS should not be changed anywhere else but in the settings.cfg file of Plex Connect

That worked perfectly.  Thanks
