Please manually make a tar.gz of the “Logs” directory (under /var/lib/plemediasserver – or wherever you set it up)

That tar.gz will tell us what it doesn’t like.

Jack,

Open the terminal window.  
navigate over to /var/logs/plexmediaserver  
go further down to the logs directory  
make a tar.gz of it  
attach that tar.gz here with your logs

The screenshot you show should have the IP address and info of your server.  
It does this the first time (cookie challenge) to make sure you ended up where you expected to. It’s an anti-phishing / anti-redirect check for you to be certain. There were cases were folks would think they are going to a a friend’s server and ended up somewhere else.

Jack.

Please forgive me.

I made a big typo

`/var/lib/plexmediaserver`

full path:

```auto
/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs

```

(_it’s been a very long weeek_)

Are you using IPv6 or IPv4? You have both stacks active.  
Both are receiving traffic.

Is this server on a remote hosted location?
