How was everyone’s holidays? With changes to the climate in the US, my concern is what I am sending to plex. Is there an option to stop sending all data to plex services and disable the auth with the website? The goal / intention is to run everything locally / on my own network instead of relying on services from plex cloud. ---

You can take a look at this thread from the tips & tricks section. From what I remember you won’t be able to operate Plex 100% offline all the time – but you can get pretty close. > [@\[HowTo\] Use Plex with No Internet](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-use-plex-with-no-internet/383325): > > I’ve seen far too many posts regarding “can’t connect to Plex with no internet”, and an uprising/outcry always ensues. It eventually settles down, but the lack of single point resources can be frustrating. I’ve been there, no internet - can’t google anything from a computer so a phone will have to do, but navigating through results and trying “solutions” can be daunting.

Thanks for the quick reply, yeah that is just simply not a solution for me here. So to be clear, there is no way to be fully offline all the time? I ask before I swap to another provider. ---

Yeah I was familiar with it, not really what I am asking though. Just to rephrase I want to stop sending data / information to plex cloud services. From that thread, that was just a method to go around the plex auth services. Anyways, sounds like not possible. I will move myself over to jellyfin or whatever other provider will do what I need. You have a great day! ---

Let us know if you find something. Not sure Jellyfin is the answer. ---
