Publish Plex/Web endpoint as DNS name instead of IP address?

Feature Suggestions

It would be really great if I could specify a DNS name to publish for my Plex/Web endpoint. Even better if I could specify a name for local (LAN) access and remote (via Internet) access, to ensure traffic doesn’t get routed through my gateway unnecessarily.



I have a dynamic IP address at home, but use a dynamic DNS setup to track it.


  • DNS names look prettier.
  • Cookies would be tied to the DNS name, so you wouldn’t have to log in again if/when an IP address change occurs.
  • DNS name would allow hiding plex/web behind an apache VirtualHost reverse proxy.



    What do you think? It’s a minor issue, but it would prettify (IMO) the web experience a bit.
