I am considering implementing country blocking in my firewall, to limit the amount of world-wide script-kiddies and other hackers access to pound my Plex 🙂 or simply hide it completely behind a VPN connection.
But I am a bit concerned about blocking Plex´ own servers. I tried finding documentation or an overview of how and when Plex servers might initiate contact to my servers?
And if they do:
- For what (thinking this happens when enabling remote access)?
- From where (does a complete plex.tv server list exist)?
Anyone?

If you wish to be as specific as possible and only allow Plex’s servers. Look at [Plex.tv](http://Plex.tv) and the Amazon domains (domain level allow). This is what you need allow in addition to any other sites / addresses you may wish to allow in.

Hmm need to investigate whether I can block on DNS domains.

Allow inbound connections from Ireland as [Plex.tv](http://Plex.tv) operates some services out of an Irish AWS datacenter.
