Video on Demand renders Parental Controls MOOT

As an alternative, is there any way to identify the IP addresses of Plex’s video on-demand content, so I can block them from my local network and only allow local streaming?

Similar thread. Never received confirmation if this works. Also, you might need to block names, not IP addresses, as the IP addresses may change over time (the address listed for plex.tv changed when I refreshed the web page).

Unsure if this will work, but might be worth a shot. Load the ipvfoo extension into Chrome. Login to app.plex.tv. ipvfoo will show you the hosts contacted by Plex Web, some of which seem to be tied to the streaming services - vod.provider.plex.tv, webshows.provider.plex.tv, etc. You can try blocking the applicable hosts for your kids’ devices during the desired time period.
