I see a support article for this… https://support.plex.tv/articles/200430283-network/?_ga=2.22396091.1690122018.1533065027-677259832.1517652679 showing a screenshot of the solution… Nirvana… Valhalla… of the ability to tell plex what network to use instead of it guess and always getting it wrong… but… oh cruel fickle fate… it’s a photoshop! I have the latest and there is no such facility.
My Plex is locked onto localhost 127.0.0.1 and so not accessible from my home network.
I am on windows 10 and have Plex Version 1.13.4.5271
In the page you linked, it states: (Requires Plex Media Server 1.13.5 or later). 1.13.5 is currently in the beta channel and thus a Plex Pass only download. My guess is you have your server set to only inform you of public releases; that may explain why you think you have the latest as you have the latest public release.

Ah thank you, I will download tonight.
Thank you so much, I just installed the beta channel and it has sorted the problem. this is such a good fix, gives proper control of the networking. Well done and thank you again!
Hello, new here (but not to Plex really). Just installed the public release of 1.13.5.5332, set the “interface to listen on” to the one which is connected to my LAN & ISP - but can’t get Remote Access working. This still defaults to the “other” NIC which is just a point-to-point between two systems.
Hi, same here. Did you come up with a solution?
I have the same problem as well. As soon as I put the IP address of the NIC I want PLEX to use and restart it I can still see connections made through the other NIC and Remote Access now doesn’t work.
Any solutions?
(Plex running on Windows 2016 Server)
Have the exact same problem. I tell plex to listen to the proper network interface, and it still just defaults to the other one, so remote access still doesn’t show working (although it seems to work fine anyway for people outside the network) Still very annoying, since I pointed this out months ago as it refused to listen on the internal nic and always chose wireless, now that I have installed a second nic, wireless is out of the equation and now it refuses to liten on the nic I want it to listen on (the one not using a VPN) so what is this option actually doing. It isn’t paying any attention to metric settings either, since the wireless vs nic issue it would default to the higher metric numbered connection, and now it choses the lower metric. Basically it seems plex just choses at will.
Yes install the beta channel version it is fixed there
I have Version 1.13.8.5395. So the old answer is not the current answer. That may have been applicable to the OP , but still doesn’t fix the problem in the slightest.
