I have been running my plex on Centos for some time now and very happy. I recently replaced my router with a newly built pfSense router.  
My local Plex server, 10.0.0.11, I can access my Plex from outside my house, but here in the domicile, i can not get to the plex server by name, only by ip.  
[https://10.0.0.11:32400](https://10.0.0.11:32400) WORKS from any computer on any subnet at the house.  
[https://plexserver:32400](https://plexserver:32400) does not work,  
I can access my plex server remotely. I would think this is a DNS issue, but run out of things to try

pfSense has DNS rebinding protection enabled by default. How do you have pfSense configured?
