Plex Media Server Security Alert

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.40
Player Version#: No Idea

I’m trying to install Plex Media Server on my new desktop server and surprising I’m getting this ‘Security Alert’.

Another device is attempting to sign in using your Plex account. You should only continue if you know this device and intend to grant it access.

107.211.45.60 (, )

I don’t know from where and who is trying to access my account with me on a very brand new desktop.

If anyone already experienced it, please let me know how to overcome this situation.

Thanks

isn’t your server the new device?

It is brand new and order this desktop just for this media purpose. I opened it from new box and tried to install this Plex Media Server.

I also enabled 2 Factor authentication for my account and selected logout from all the devices too.

Not sure why it is happening on a brand new server.

Thanks

You are awesome. Yes. I’m trying to setup my server at this location and I’m using the AT&T service. When I checked my ipconfig on my windows server it is no where related to this ‘107-211-45-60’. Is it my own IP?

Thanks

doesn’t ipconfig just show your local LAN ip address?

go to ipinfo.io in a browser on your server to show your WAN address

or curl ipinfo.io in command prompt

When I did the curl ipinfo.io I’m getting that IPAddress, does it mean its mine? Am I trying to catch my tail :slight_smile:
When I did the ipconfig in the command line, my IPv4 address starts with 192.168.x.x

curl ipinfo.io
{
“ip”: “107.211.45.60”,
“hostname”: “107-211-45-60.lightspeed.jcvlfl.sbcglobal.net”,
“city”: “St. Johns”,
“region”: “Florida”,
“country”: “US”,
“loc”: “30.0815,-81.5477”,
“org”: “AS7018 AT&T Services, Inc.”,
}

yes, the 192 addr is your local network address (LAN)

107 is your internet gateway addr (WAN)

:joy:
Thank you so much for your prompt response and helping me with this.
I will continue to setup this now.

Once again really appreciate your time and providing me such an useful information.

Have a great weekend!
