You can. See @Volts earlier post:
The Custom server access URL field doesn’t accept a bare IP address typed directly into the field.
It does accept this format: http://198.51.100.51:[port].
If an address is entered with that format, Plex will also automatically register the URI https://198-51-100-51.[guid].plex.direct:[port], which will automatically enable SSL using a Plex-provided certificate … no custom domain name or additional certificate required.
When using a Custom server access URL, it may be appropriate to disable R…
The ‘guid’ is your certificate UUID, as found in your Plex Media Server preferences file (or the Windows registry). This post describes how to find it:
It’s not actually a server ID, it’s a certificate UUID; how you find it depends up the host on which you run your Plex Media Server:
Windows - In Regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server and find the value of CertificateUUID.
macOS - Run defaults read com.plexapp.plexmediaserver CertificateUUID.
Linux - Find your Preferences.xml file in your Plex data directory and locate the CertificateUUID parameter within.
NAS - Generally found in your Preferences.xml. …
Once you’ve got that, you can compose the custom server access URL as described above:
https://desired_ip_address.[CertificateUUID].plex.direct:[port]
This will be published as a server access URL which your clients can then access (using secure connections).
