Server Version#: 4.22.3
Player Version#:
Host: QNAP NAS
Nothing is currently playing, “remote access is not available outside your network” and the remote stream bitrate is limited to 320kbps and I do have a remote user configured.
Looking at the dashboard, I see bandwidth for remote spiking to around 170bps every few seconds. Is this a description of Plex or Host activity?
I did a quick packet capture.
Every 10 seconds PMS is checking in with a plex.bz host.
No idea why it is talking to plex.bz, but an average of 53 bps is hardly heavy bandwidth usage.
It’s Plex specific - it doesn’t include other network traffic on the server.
It will include Plex web UI traffic and any “Hello” messages from clients in the traffic graphs.
It is possible that you are seeing your own requests for information for the traffic graphs, in the traffic graphs.
I usually see that in “Local” if I’m on the same LAN as the server. I’m not sure how your numbers are so low, actually.
The graph looks dramatic because of the view (a common trick in data analytics), but it’s really not much usage. Most likely, you are seeing your usage for the viewing the usage.
Very interesting and thank you. Two questions come to mind - how could you tell what was being broadcast from my Plex and, because I don’t have any relationship to a site in Belize, how can I stop it?
Thank you, good info.
Ok, yes I should have thought of that but I’m rather new at this and the first time I’ve looked at the bandwidth. Thank you.
I don’t think @FordGuy61 was capturing traffic from your server. I think they looked at something of theirs to see what the traffic might be.
Plex uses the “plex.bz” domain for some cloud stuff. It isn’t in BZ, it’s just a vanity domain that looks cool. The .bz was advertised as “for business” at one point.
Phew! ok, I thank you for the explanation.
Correct. I captured traffic from my server. Apologies for any confusion.
Ya pague y no me deja ingresar a plex
