Multiple Network Cards

Server Version#:1.13.9.5439
Player Version#:

I have 3 NICs in my server and I want to lock the external access to one network… If I disable the two I don’t want it on then it will go out the correct on just fine. When the other two are enabled then it chooses the other network that I do not want it one. I know you can set what IP to listen on but there needs to be a way to set what IP to remote access from too.

Is there anyway to force it to only remote access from that one IP?

Have you tried Settings -> Server -> Network -> Custom server access URLs?

Description for this setting is: A comma-separated list of URLs (http or https) which are published up to plex.tv for server discovery.

Since I run my server in a docker, I had to set the real internal IP to use, so my setting is:

https://192.168.1.254:32400,http://192.168.1.254:32400

More info on this setting can be found here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200430283-network/

For more advanced debugging, of seeing which URLs/addresses are being used and published to Plex, you follow this guide to get your Plex token: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

Then append that token and load this url in your browser:

https://plex.tv/pms/resources.xml?includeHttps=1&X-Plex-Token=YOURTOKEN

Make sure the other two NICs don’t have a gateway address configured.
By default, Plex uses the first NIC which has a valid gateway set.
(if you don’t use those additional interfaces to connect to several internet connections, that is)
