I actually get the same error and changed the dns server configuration of the pms server to point to Google and cloudflare. But this did not solve the issue. Before that it was pointing to an internal pihole server.
I believe I am having the same issue. I can access plex through remote and local device apps and localhost/local ip’s. I am not able to access my plex server through app.plex.tv/desktop/. I tried the DNS flush and even manually set dns to google’s DNS, rebooting after each one.
@BigWheel i am sending you my logs now. This is not critical it’s probably been this way for months. Enjoy your weekend.
Hi. I believe I’m having the same issue, @BigWheel.
My case is that I can access my PMS on my home network devices: PC via browser (app.plex.tv and local IP) and Windows app; SHIELD; and TV. I can also use it on the Android phone app, both home and away.
However, when I attempt to access it via app.plex.tv on a browser on a device outside my home network, I get the “unable to connect to *** securely” error.
Do I need a cert refresh, please? If not, any advice on alternative solutions would be really helpful. I’ll PM you my server logs in a sec. Thanks in advance for your help.
@ictiosapiens i reset it but if you are having an issue with forum login as well then i would expect a browser issue. I would clear cache/cookie for any plex.tv urls. making sure third party cookies are accepted, and try different browsers in laptop to see if get same thing.
I am having a similar issue but not quite the same. All the people on mine can access it via web browsers when on remote access but any apps on phones or tablets or TVs fails to work. The message is “ please verify that the server is running and has a network connection” The apps on TVs on the same internet network all work no problem. Tried a bunch of things and nothing works. Really frustrating. I am currently remote and can login with safari browser but the Plex app gives me the same old message.
My PMS just developed this remote access issue after months/years of no issues. I recently updated the pms build after months of no updates. I see many certificate errors/alerts/unknown/etc. in the pms logs. Could you please reset my certs? Thank you!
