Local/Private Network

Hi All,

ive been trying to figure this out myself for week or two now. OK. Issue im having is my server is not visable or usable on my private newtork, over LAN or Wifi without an internet connection.

When my remote access goes offline, which is common and due to the VPN i beleive, the serverdissappers from the network, even though the TV, Mobileor Laptop are on the same network as the Server PC

DLNA etc in network are enabled .

assistance or solution if possible
thanks in advance :slight_smile:

to add to that, it only seems to work when remote access is working, doesnt matter if there isan internet connection at the router or not.
i have family that remote access my server from time to time, but i should still be able to use the server within my local network ?

As for Plex’ dependency on the internet you can read up in this article from the tips & tricks section

If your server is not visible from within your home network without remote access being active, that implies you have a problem in your network setup (obviously). Check if the devices are indeed on the same network. Some routers/access points create their own subnets instead of expanding the network they’re added to. With a Plex Pass you can also configure Plex to recognize other subnets to be part of your LAN (see Settings > [Server Name] > Network > LAN networks)

Make sure your home network is using an actual private network IP address range.
