Not available outside your network

Hello,
can anybody explain me please, if I want to watch media from plex media server into my LOCAL net, why I must enable Remote Access? and do any NAT settings in my router?
Now I have “Not available outside your network” status and can’t watch normal media from my local network plex media player says me direct connection to server is unavailable.
Or is it problem only on my side?

Could be a DNS Rebind issue you’re seeing.

I would not presume DNS rebinding without examining logs first.
DNS rebinding has nothing to do with Remote Access anyway.

@akam

Can you download the logs and attach them please? (Settings - Server - Troubleshooting - Download Logs). It will give you a ZIP file.

You don’t need remote access enabled if you have no intention of streaming outside your home. (Settings - Server - Remote Access - Disable will turn it off )

But I can play it from browser http://192.168.88.194:32400/web/index.html#

What is the computer’s native OS? Is it also Linux ?

If so, I recommend using the native package. It’ll avoid all the fuss your experiencing now.

Yes, native is also linux.
I’ve downloading rpm and installed it on vm.

Yes, it’s your machine to use as you deem appropriate but please consider,

If running a Linux Guest on a Linux Host, this uses a Type 2 hypervisor. A fair amount of CPU cycles are wasted with the Type 2. We need all the CPU cycles we can get when transcoding is involved.

Networking, unless configured for Bridge and given its own IP, will create a double-NAT situation relative the outside world

To not drift off topic/OP,

  • there is no requirement to use Remote Access (be available outside your network).
  • PMS must be able to communicate with Plex.tv (constant connection capability).
