Hello. I use Firefox, and that setting has always been on on my end, so that wasn’t the issue. I did come across that first & second post and tried, with no luck. Also to add, it’s not just the web UI that I’m having issues with, it’s absolutely ANY client or service connecting to Plex under my ho…

[image] The-Matt-Hatter: I use Firefox, and that setting has always been on on my end That setting doesn’t exist yet on regular releases Firefox, so it couldn’t have been on for a long time. #2 is very relevant, as it deals with DNS resolution in your local network #3 almost everything in t…

When I click the symbol next to the link on my Firefox browser, it comes up with a pop-up that says “access local network devices: Allowed”, which is what I was referring to. If that’s not the exact setting you meant, then apologies. However it seemed to me like it was, or filled similar content. A…

Im not using a container for Plex. It is directly installed on my PC. Although I do run Docker Desktop in the background. I dont know of the many ways to confirm this or not, but my server PC is on a static IP that has been reserved for it since I first set it up. I’ve also tried loading Plex t…

If you try to access the server from another device on your network using the direct ip:port in a browser does it also time out? I was trying to help another person on Reddit that’s also on Bell using the Gigahub (they originally said Roger’s, but corrected it later) and no device on their local ne…

Yes it does also timeout. That was one of the methods that I came across, and for reference it would look like “ http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:32400 ”. For experimenting after reading what you mentioned, I decided to open port 8989 for Sonarr to see if it can be accessed, confirmed it was open, and although…

[image] The-Matt-Hatter: I’ve also tried loading Plex through https://192.XXX.XXX.XXX:32400/web , You need to use http, not https. The local web app cannot be loaded securely over https. [image] The-Matt-Hatter: There are none. Only one modem, and attached to it on a different floor, one …

I dont know why I wrote https (maybe force of habit), but it was http, along with my experimented connection to sonarr. My mistake. The gighub 2.0 is described by Bell as a “modem-router”. As I had poor wireless signal on the top floor, I decided to invest in a TP link that acts as an AP for it. I’…

[image] The-Matt-Hatter: It was originally set to Public (I believe by default, or as recommended by windows), but switching to Private, restarting, switching to public again, restarting, all provided no change. This should be set to “private” and remain so. Setting it to “public” will suppre…
