Server on Local Network but Plex says its remote - now charging for access

Plex Media Server Remote Access
1

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156
Player Version#: 4.156.0
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

For some reason, Plex is now saying my server is remote when it’s on the local network. I am hardwired throughout my home, and my TV apps can’t find the server anymore, and the Windows app says I need to pay to be able to access a remote server (the hard drive I use is literally plugged into my PC).

it was working fine a couple of days ago, but now is suddenly doing this.

See Client says it won't play from "remote server", although the server is local

Same same - worked around it by accessing my Plex server by IP address and not by name. Amazing that Plex thinks local DNS resolution means it’s not on the same network. JellyFin, here I come!
