So I have been doing a little bit of experimenting around to narrow down what is causing my issues with plex connect. I am experiencing the DNS server not working after my router reboots, disconnects for a while w/e it also happens randomly with no router issues - the dns server just stops working. The http portion handles itself fine but the DNS Server doesn't like the change. Restarting plex connect works fine. Is there a way to fix this so the DNS Server restarts every x minutes or fixes itself when it detects network changes?
Have you got logs for when this occurs?
I have not seen this issue with a rougher reboot personally.
Here is the log file. It does this randomly and it is not always related to the router.

That log shows no traffic to Plexconnect so sorry can’t help, Need a log with Loglevel = High when the issue occurs.
I have bypassed my issue now. I am using DNSMasq on dd-wrt. No issues related to dns since i'm using this now. I have set the settings.cfg to disable the DNS Server now.
