Not of my laptops, Roku, Amazon Fire, etc. is connecting securely.
1.) The connection states INDIRECT.
2.) As soon as I turn off DNS Rebinding the connection is SECURE and NEARBY
3.) What do I fill in the following fields of my routers DNS rebinding page to keep DNS rebinding enabled.
I have the following options.
Allow Local Host: ?
Domain White List:?
DNS Forwardsings:?
Thanks!
Can a Dev please answer this question?

scroll down to ‘DNS Rebinding’
What type of router do you have?
It is an enterprise class router from PakEdge. The first post shows the DNS Binding page options. I have read that link. I do not know what to enter in those fields as the link to the article above is not clear.
I can only make assumptions here, because I don’t know your router model.
Allow Local Host: IP of your Plex server machine
Domain White List: *.plex.direct
DNS Forwardsings:? <-- no idea
Pakedge RE-2.
Allow Local Host is just a check mark. No IP to enter.

The manufacturer rates that as a small network residential router. I know it doesn’t answer your question, but it is decidedly NOT an enterprise class solution. That being said, performance is likely not your issue. As @OttoKerner states, rebinding is what you will need to fix, but I have never used (or even heard of) these routers and they do not appear to have a simulator on their site to play with. Good luck finding the issue. One place to check, it is possible the DNS provider you are using is actually the issue rather than your router. If you use OpenDNS you need to allow local responses to public queries. Cannot remember what the setting is, but it requires an OpenDNS account to set up. Otherwise, using Google’s DNS server may fix the issue from other reports.

This is how I have my OpenDNS account set up to allow RFC1918 IPs to be returned and it seems to work for me:
I have the same settings as well. Mine does not work unfortunatly. Thank you for the responses.
Do you have the OpenDNS servers set on the clients or just on the router? IE, are the clients set to use the router as their DNS?
DNS Servers are set on router only.
1.) Tried the google DNS servers same issue.
2.) The weird thing is in Chrome it says NEARBY with a lock icon with my server name. Roku no long shows via RELAY.
3.) Microsoft Edge stille says INDIRECT.
When playing back on Chrome the orginal bit rate works fine. When playing on Edge it is limited to 2 Mbps.
This is the same for both Open DNS and Google DNS.
Do you have GDM discovery disabled on your server by chance?
No. It is still enabled. I wonder if the latest DVR Beta has this issue. I am on the DVR beta. However, I have noticed this before the beta too.
It must be something related to the Edge Browser.
My server is running on the WS2012R2.
I have tried to solve it the other day and then realized that on both the IE11 and the FireFox I can see Nearby. I am running the Insider Redstone 2 build 14971.
Its odd. It is now showing up on Chrome as INDIRECT again.
Is there a PLEX employee that can answer this question?
