Hi everyone,
This has been doing my head in for some time now. When I log into my NAS PMS, I use the shortcut “https://192.168.0.200:3400” (which is the ip of my NAS) and I get a popup -
If I click on ‘Advanced’, I get -
And then click proceed to 192.168.0.200 (unsafe), I see my PMS screen, but at the top in the address bar, it shows me the https://app.plex.tv signin page, via email for me and then it shows me my PMS, but the address bar shows -
Is there a way to show it as Secure, so as to not go through the other nonsense?
Thanks,
Sam
HTTPS requires the certificate to match the NAME of the service, you CAN’T get valid certificates for IP addresses.
The connection is still encrypted but the browser is correctly warning you that the certificate does not match the host name in the browser.
To Avoid this always connect via the https://plex.tv public interface.
You don’t have a cryptographic certificate which is valid for the “domain” 192.168.0.200
No valid certificate - no secure TLS connection, hence the warning from your web browser.
Don’t use the https prefix.
Or load the web app from plex.tv instead
or disable Secure Connections in the server preferences
or configure your router, if possible, and disable the DNS Rebinding protection for the domain plex.direct:
It is secure. It is just warning you that it could be a man in the middle attack, so the browser is doing the right thing. I would not worry about it.
