is using plex in local network consuming bandwidth?

Because I have restricted bandwidth for the rest of the month until I get change with my isp
So, is using Plex locally (server and client on the same router) consuming bandwidth
thanks for your answer

The only bandwidth it will consume is the following:

  • Sending anonymous data the PLEX (if enabled)
  • grabbing metadata for newly added content

You could simply block all outbound calls at the router from that PLEX server and it wont use any of your WAN bandwidth :slight_smile:

alright thanks
