Plex remote access issues - cannot connect securely

It seems that i have the same issue. Mine is stuck on november 20th

Please wait at least 10 minutes, then stop and restart your Plex server.

Seem to be having the same problem on my end, any help would be appreciated.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Can you check mine too? My Remote Access suddenly goes from OK to Not available after a short while.

Your cert is perfectly fine. It was just renewed today.
Maybe stop and restart your server as well, and all the client apps as well afterwards.

Same issue. Would you mind checking mine please?

Same as a bove, basically.

I’m having this issue too. Can you check?

I am having the same issue after updating.

I have been fighting this issue for a few days. Not sure if I am affected by this issue or not. remote access will stop working and a reboot of the docker fixes it. I went ahead and rebuilt the docker today thinking it was the issue.

Please refer to your original post above for a moderator edit. If you are not affected by this particular issue, I have added a note in there.
Maybe take a look at Important note about Chrome and Firefox Local Network Access
and do also compare the hosted web app with the local web app.
Do compare different Plex client types in general, in order to determine if the issue can be connected to a certain client type.
Ensure that you are not on an old server version between 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x

If there are still issues, please open your own forum thread.

There has been a new Plex app version on the Roku platform last week. From now on, the new rules regarding remote connections are enforced there as well. just like the other Plex client platforms. Here is a detailed account what these changes entail: https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/
As a result, it is now much more consequential whether your server is only accessible in a different logical network, or in public IP address ranges. See Client says it won't play from "remote server", although the server is local for a list of things to check.

Is it possible to check mine as well? Seems a problem with it too. Thanks in advance!

Same issue here, I cannot reclaim server, nothing happens, can you help?

Verify that your DNS server can resolve all plex.tv and plex.direct domain names.
Particlarly in Portugal there appear to be some ISPs which don’t allow that. Use a different DNS server, like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

I think i too am having this issue.

Indeed you are. Please wait at least 10 minutes, then stop and restart your Plex server.
