Please don’t allow people outside of my LAN networks to load the Plex Web app from my server.
Everyone can visit Plex at https://app.plex.tv/. They don’t need to load the Plex Web app via my server.
Please add the ability to restrict access to the detected and configured LAN networks.

You can set this on the PMS machine (local firewall in your OS), only allow access from inside your local subnet. (edit: ah apologies, this is not exactly the issue you’re having, it’s Plex web content injecting itself into your server url)
Right, thanks.
My goal isn’t to disable Remote Access for authenticated users, especially via client apps and devices, but to restrict Remote Access to users who have already logged in and obtained a valid token from the Plex authentication infrastructure.
Plex Web’s behavior has changed. It used to be a big “Login” screen. Now it’s “Here’s a bunch of free content!”.
I understand that the content itself isn’t streamed by my server, it’s still problematic. Providing an index of media can be problematic. I don’t want to be associated with it, don’t want my network provider to associate me with it, but I can’t currently disable it for anonymous users.
I see your problem - it’s indeed unclear for users that this ad-supported Plex content doesn’t come from your server.
They really should separate this content more clearly.
Please, we want this implemented as soon as possible.
Plex’s behavior has improved substantially from when I made this suggestion.
I’m much more comfortable with how it behaves today. No content is offered until a Plex user logs in.
But I’m going to leave this open.
Any Plex user can load the Plex Web App from my server and authenticate.
I would still like to be able to disable serving the Web App from my Plex Media Server to arbitrary users on the Internet at all.
