Unable to connect to my Plex server with Tailscale with Plex app

My internet service provider has changed and unfortunately the new carrier has CGNAT. I was able to use Tailscale to connect to it remotely but today I can’t for some reason using the Plex app on my iPhone turning on the Tailscale VPN on. The weird part, I can connect to the host name of my Plex server with a port number via a browser on this same iOS device with Tailscale enabled. Why would the app not allow me to connect, but a web browser will?

I’m not sure why Tailscale isn’t working, assuming it’s connected on both devices, and neither app has expired. Try adding the tailnet IPs and URLs in the PMS network settings for the custom server access URLs. Try it with both http and https.
