Malwarebytes flagging Plex as Trojan?

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7328 (via official Docker)
Player Version#: Plex Web Version 4.111.1

Is MalwareBytes having a bout of false positives with Plex this morning, or do I have a busy weekend ahead of me?

Some additional – potentially related info… I tunnel Plex through Packetriot due to CGNAT on T-Mobile Home Internet. (via their tutorial)

This morning, Packetriot’s US East servers were having issues with TCP tunneling, so I reconfigured my tunnel to use their US South server. I did not see any of these Trojan Malwarebytes alerts prior to my issues with Packetriot this morning. The screenshot-redacted IP address being flagged every time I view my Plex Home tab is either my T-Mobile IP, or the Packetriot public-facing server IP.

So, I think the issue was that my current T-Mobile CGNAT’ted IP address was on some naughty lists.

Since I’m tunnelling my connection out to Packetriot, I just went ahead and disabled remote access, so the responsible 172.58.x.x IP stopped getting parsed into the *.plex.direct URLs. That seems to have fixed my issue.
