IPv6 Secure remote access

Server Version#:1.32.1.6999

I am using the custom URL settings so I can connect to my server with IPv6, but I am having difficulty understanding how to make it a secure connection. When I use http://IPv6-server-address.ServerID.plex.direct:32400, I can connect from any app remotely as long as I set it as allow unsecure connections. If I use https://IPv6-server-address.ServerID.plex.direct:32400 I can only connect to my server remotely if I use a browser. Do I still need to assign a certificate to the https address? I thought that was taken care of thru the Plex Let’s Encrypt services. If I do need to get a certificate, how do I do that?

If everything is configured correctly and working as it should, you don’t need to enter a custom server access URL for IPv6 (if you intend to use the Plex issued certificate). It should only be necessary to ensure that support for IPv6 is enabled under Settings → Network and for remote access to be enabled. If your interface has a public-facing IPv6 address it will be published to Plex’s servers. Secure access will be available via TCP port 32400.

You can view what is published by visiting this link:

Information on how to find your Plex online token can be found here:

Note: This is not the same as your server’s certificate UUID from the *.plex.direct URL.

Ah, ok, so I read some old information it appears. However, I went ahead and removed the custom url and left everything else the same, but now I cannot access remotely at all. I did restart the server after I removed the custom url. Looking at the published servers with my token, It still shows the IPv6 public address in the connection protocol with https, but I can’t connect with the apps.

Not sure why https wouldn’t work thru plex.direct, but I decided to just use my own domain and set it up thru HAproxy instead. Works great, at least for now, and all secure connections now. Thanks
