"Indirect" connection on 'Plex for Mac', while 'Plex on Web' shows "Secure" on the same machine

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7516
Player Version#:
“Plex for Mac”: 1.79.1.3984-879339ed
“Plex Web”: 4.108.0

Hi,

When I connect to my Plex Server from my Macbook, I get different connections depending on whether I use “Plex Web” or the app “Plex for Mac”.

On “Plex Web”, all looks green, and it says that my connection is “Secure”.
On “Plex for Mac”, at the very same moment, on the very same machine, it is yellow and says that the connection is only “Indirect”.

This results in the quality shown on the native App to be considerably worse than on “Plex Web”.

How can that be and how can that be fixed?
Again - both run on the same machine at the very same time, so I think it can’t be a problem with my server.

See screenshots below.
Plex Web - Green
Plex for Mac - Yellow : Indirect
