Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>

Can’t seem to get Plex to communicate outside of the network, after looking through the logs, and cross referencing them online, it seems my certificate has expired?

Is there anyway i can get this renewed?

Snippets from my log files:

Please shut down and restart your server. I’ve revoked your certificate.
