I love how plex has the option to set secure connections to disabled preferred or required! However, I think a great feature would to be to have two editions of this option. One will control secure connections when the connection is from a part of the server’s LAND, and one will control secure con…

I’m pretty new to Plex and I ran into the very same problem as Jason. For increasing security of remote connections, I configured my Plex server to “Secure connections required”. However, now some local clients are no longer able to connect to my Plex server, e.g. my Sony Bravia TV. The Plex client…

@mhovestadt Have you tried setting the TV to static ip and put that ip in “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth”. Settings> Server> Network> Show Advanced

@astrofisher There’s no way setting a manual server IP in that Sony TV client. At server side I added “ http://serverip :port” to “Custom server access URLs” and 192.168.1.0/24 to “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth”, but still the client is unable to connect to the serve…

You could go into your router and use DHCP Reservation to reserve the IP Address for the TV. Then put that address into “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth”. If you wanted all ip’s on the local network to have access, you would not add anything to Custom server access U…

@astrofisher Thanks for your response, but neither adding the IP of my TV nor the adding the subnet to “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth” is solving the issue. The client on my Sony TV still suggests to reconfigure the server to “Secure connections preferred”. But any…

Of course your request is still on the table - I have no affiliation with Plex. I’m just a user like yourself and was trying to help come up with workaround to your situation. So far you’ve go 5 likes on your feature request. That’s more than I’ve got on all my feature requests combined. :’(

My Vizio TV just decided to stop connecting securely, so take my vote :slight_smile: I’m on the verge of running two Plex servers to work around this problem…

My last post is some months ago, but I wanted to let you know that I found a (very very very dirty) workaround for my problem. This “solution” should be applicable to everybody who wants to have encryption mandatory for remote users but optional for local users. My Plex server is running on a Synol…
