Server Version#: Latest Player Version#: Latest Hi. I’ve an unraid server on which I’ve installed plex in a docker container. This Unraid server is connected the only router I’ve in my house. While on laptop, I can successfully access the plex library by “SERVERINTERNALIP:32400” and can play content without any issue. But as soon as I install the plex app on my phone, android TV or open plex.tv website and login via my credentials, I always get a “limited connection” warning and I can’t enjoy media above the quality of 480p. This is so sad having movies in 4k and browsing them in 480p. All my devices are on the same router/network/internet connection. The point to note is that I reside in India and almost every ISP keeps us behind a CG-NAT, so forget about port forwarding and ■■■■. My ISP is a ■■■■■■ and doesn’t even allow me to log into the router to even make primary changes. Do I need to make changes in the router to access my plex library even on the same network (While using app/website)? Is there some solution to it? TIA! ---

Can you double-check the network configuration of your container. Even if the host is in the same network/subnet, the container can establish its own network. > **[GitHub - plexinc/pms-docker: Plex Media Server Docker repo, for all your PMS...](https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker#usage)** > > Plex Media Server Docker repo, for all your PMS docker needs. - plexinc/pms-docker ---

Hi! Thanks for replying! I’m currently using a custom bridge network to my plex docker. Is it creating a problem? Here is a pic: ![Screenshot 2024-04-28 150628](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/d/6/2/d623be7dfe2ecd91273b8e5ce1a0bc33c0951580.png) ---

The different network modes are explained in the guide linked in my previous post. ---
