How can I see if my connection to my plex server is encrypted when I take plex with this address “[http://app.plex.tv/desktop?secure=0#!/server/6972476c91f00d4ba95ee3225af8a9c679b077bd/dashboard](http://app.plex.tv/desktop?secure=0#!/server/6972476c91f00d4ba95ee3225af8a9c679b077bd/dashboard)”  
I can not see that the address is HTTPS. I can only see that the address is HTTP and it is not encrypted?

Sincerely. Boie

secure=0 is telling it to disable encryption.

That only tells you how the app was loaded to your computer. Once loaded, it runs locally so it doesn’t really matter if it downloaded the app securely or not. You can still make a secured connection to your server. Check for the Green lock icon next to your server’s name to see if’s it secured or not.
