Plex Media Player indirect connection only on Linux Mint PC on my LAN

First time poster :smile:

Ok so lets get right to it, all the other PC’s on my LAN (Windows 10 Computers) don’t say Indirect connection they say “Nearby” and are working perfectly. But when I tried to introduce a Linux mint PC into my LAN with the Plex Media Player App installed on it I’m getting “indirect connection” on that PC. I am running FreeNAS and Plex is running as a jail. I have remote access setup as well. I"ll post a screen shot of my network to clarify my network.

From Windows 10 PC

From Linux Mint PC

Not sure what other info you guys would need kinda a noob when it comes to asking people for help but I’d be more than glad to provide any info you need. Thank you for reading, have a great weekend!

Probably DNS-Rebinding.

On your PFSense firewall, go to Services>DNS Resolver, scroll down to custom options and add:

server:
private-domain: "plex.direct"

That worked perfectly thank you Tiebierius! I’d still a novice when it comes to networking right now still studying for my Net+ I appreciate your help very much, have a great weekend! ./bow
