[FreeNAS] No Soup for you! PLEX can't access to the SERVER

Hello, I’m on FreeNAS-11.3-U2 and trying to setup PLEX plugin.
I can connect to PLEX GUI via server IP, after login show this page


It does see the server but can’t access to it.
I tried install PLEX server on my windows it work perfectly but not on my FreeNAS jails.

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645

Did you use the plugin it self with standard settings (VNET DHCP and BPF on) or did you install plex in a manually created jail? (if so you also need to make sure those are enabled, most importantly VNET.

Yes, I install using plugin as standard setting.
Those all are enabled as it is.

How are you access the web app? app.plext.tv ? or “lan_ip:32400/web” ?

to use PMS, try using this button

Ofcourse, I always use that button

I’m having the same issue. Any ideas where to look at?
@mikec_pt I’m using “lan_ip:32400/web” to login.

@klimisa is VNET enabled? If some is lan_ip actually the same subnet as you are now now vpns or such? If so please post OS/Jail versions and PMS version to (use pkg info or check freenas plugin UI for that)

Hey @mikec_pt, I think I have included everything you need. Yes VNET is enabled.

@mikec_pt any findings on the issue?

172.12.200.70 ? that’s a public IP address not LAN it seems, is that the IP on the jail?

That’s my LAN network address range 172.12.0.1/16
172.12.200.70 is the FreeNAS address.
172.12.200.75 is the Plex address.

But that’s not a private range…

RFC 1918

Private Address Space

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Maybe you wanted to use 172.16.0.1/16 (12?) ? Do you really the need entire /16 for LAN, that’s a lot of hosts, so maybe there’s a mistake here?

@mikec_pt I changed my network to 172.16.0.0/16 and it worked.
Thank you so much for pointing out to me. :slight_smile:
