Suspecious DNS query on ------------

Hi all,

My IDS/IPS is flagging some DNS queries from my plex server to solve plex.****.**

Since the country top domain is pw for the URL, my firewall is flagging it as a network intrusion.

Have anyone seen this domain before? Is it used for anything or is my plex server actually compromised?

Thank you!
Tony

That’s one of the Plex servers shared with you.
The server owner has decided to use a custom domain name for it, on his own domain.

for a potential way to prevent this traffic getting flagged in the future.
