Plex Server indirect connection after going from Windows to HexOS

Plex Media Server
1

So I had Plex working fine no problem on Windows, and now I have moved over to HexOS and problems

Plex web UI no problems works fine but
Plex app on same PC “indirect access” to server
Plex on Tv “Checking for connection” then trying to watch and it keeps buffering

And havent been able to find anything that I understand on the web
There are a lot about “DNS Rebinding Protection” but I don’t understand Network stuff

I hope that someone is able to help me :slight_smile:

Assuming Server machine is on same subnet as player (e.g. 192.168.x.n)
-and-
Assuming PMS container (if using containers – given TrueNAS foundation)
-then-

  1. Is container in HOST networking mode?
    If in BRIDGE mode, server will be on a different subnet which guarantees minimally it will be REMOTE (not NEARBY)

  2. Is the resident software firewall enabled blocking port 32400 in the container?

Indirect connections are those where the player / client cannot connect directly to the local server (via its IP address) and it’s forced to go out to Plex.tv and be reflected back.

When in an INDIRECT state, Network traffic is limited to 1 Mbps for free users and 2 Mbps for PlexPass users. This will absolutely cause stuttering/buffering for almost everything except music playback.
