> [@zefcorreal](#): > > If I try the “[http://localhost:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400),” option Too be clear, I didn’t suggest to use [https://localhost:32400/web](https://localhost:32400/web). I suggested using Plex icon → Open Plex. I know on the surface it seems like exactly the same thing, but it’s not. The difference is in the request URI Plex Media Server receives. Plex implemented [new claiming requirements for PMS a few years ago](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-server-claiming-requirement-for-macos/816337). It’s also the method outlined in [the new server installation docs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288586-installation/#toc-1). If you haven’t tried it specifically that way, from a clean installation, I’d really recommend it. If that doesn’t work for some reason, try [http://127.0.0.1:32400](http://127.0.0.1:32400) (_no /web_) which should be equivalent to what “Open Plex” does. > [@zefcorreal](#): > > I’m pretty good at this… I’m not questioning your experience. However, I’ve done this successfully very recently (less than a month ago) after the recent Plex security incident. Two other potential considerations: - You may want to temporarily (read permanently) set your primary DNS server to 1.1.1.1 to ensure there are no DNS rebinding shenanigans taking place. - I think @nibbles might have a script they created to ensure a complete uninstall. Maybe they can hop in and share that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hosting-multiple-plex-servers-on-the-same-network-plex-pass-member/932861)._
