I haven't been able to access my libraries for months

Thanks for the info & logs.

Apr 21, 2026 20:06:22.071 [140625107159696] DEBUG - * 3 eth0 (45.24.xxx.x) (90-09-D0-7B-D5-73) (loopback: 0)

Do not give the NAS a public IP address.

Plex is designed to work with private IP addresses. Also, exposing your server directly to the Internet is dangerous.

Give the NAS a private IP address (probably 192.168.1.x if you have the same ATT router as mine).

Are you on AT&T Fiber with a BGW320 router?

If so, see this post for how to set up port forwarding: Changed ISP - No Remote Access with AT&T BGW 320-500 - #3 by FordGuy61. Substitute your NAS for the WD NAS in the post.

As previously mentioned, configure the NAS to use a public DNS server. Cloudflare / Google / Quad9 servers are more reliable than AT&T’s.

Do not use QuickConnect to launch Plex Web. Use either app.plex.tv or the IP address of the NAS (ex: http://192.168.1.2:32400/web).
