Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395 (FreeBSD) Player Version#: Android 10.14.0.541 Player doesn’t play via OpenVPN running on same box as Plex server. Plays fine on local network. I have read and performed relevant actions in “ https://support.plex.tv/articles/204604227-why-can-t-the-plex-app-find-or-co…

[image] Dirk-Bonebrake: DEBUG - CERT: incomplete TLS handshake from 10.7.0.3:48926: stream truncated The message is direct. It’s telling you the handshake info (so it could setup the encryption) provided in the message was cut off (truncated) somehow. It was expecting more than it got. W…

[OP here] Well, plug my cornhole; I got it working by disabling remote access in the server settings. This seems a bit counter-intuitive, but is actually preferable for my desired setup. D

Plex does not play well with VPNs because: PMS looks at the IP address AT THE MODEM/ROUTER. When you have the VPN active, it’s captive and no traffic can enter via the modem/router:Plex_port to work. You would need a split-VPN configuration.

@ChuckPA : This (IP address at ROUTER) does not appear to be what I’m seeing in the PMS log; I can see the Plex player/VPN client connect: DEBUG - Auth: authenticated user 1 as Dirk Bonebrake DEBUG - Request: [10.7.0.3:40614 (Allowed Network (Subnet))] GET /media/providers?includePreferences=1 (6 …

To clarify the VPN setup:: The VPN is on the same machine as PMS (not the router). The client connects to the VPN server, which knows how to route to the PMS. Assuming the routing is correct, what is the source of the TLS handshake error and how do I eliminate it? Thanks, D

Let’s try to look at the TLS first. Clocks in NTP time sync? Proxy involved anywhere? Do you have your own cert anywhere? All machines involved are SSLv3-capable? SSL 1.1.1 is obsolete (meaning many Centos boxes aren’t compliant)

Did you really mean SSLv3? Running ‘openssl s_client -connect PMS_IP:32400’ outputs, amongst other things: SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.3 Cipher : TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 NTP client runs every night, time usually within 1 second. No proxies. No certs, except within VPN subsystem. Thanks, …

Sorry OpenSSL v3. Here’s my writeup at the time. [image] Linux Tips Tips, Tricks & How-Tos OpenSSL v3.0.0 and PMS. For those using their own domains and certificates with PMS , PMS 1.32.0.6865 and above updates OpenSSL from v1.1.1 to v3.0.0 . (changed th…

Thank you for the clarification; I interpreted the message to mean that since the handshake was incomplete then PMS truncated the stream. I’ll look into what could be causing the truncation. Thanks, D

Yes. It couldn’t complete the handshake. The message was therefore truncated which is obviously detrimental.

I think the VPN has an MTU problem/mismatch. I reconfigured it to use TCP and the connection seems stable (ie, Android Plex player is (reliably?) connecting through VPN and streaming TV). I may revisit this in the future and reinstitute UDP (or not, if it continues to stream well). I have some remot…
