What is the best way to hide each plex server from the others?

The Plex interface is confusing when there are multiple plex servers on the account. I was thinking about using the firewall on each to block access on the Plex ports from the other servers on the network. (just block their ips) Is there a better way? For the server at home I just turned it off and now it doesn’t show up on either Plex server in the Motorhome which is good. I’m guessing there is a setting for this in the setting for each server, but I am not finding it. What is it called? Or do I have to shut down the ports? Or?? -Bill

or just have one plex server

Shutting the other server(s) down or blocking their IP addresses / ports won’t remove them from your account… they’ll just be „unavailable“.

It’s probably much easier to simply unpin the libraries of the „undesired“ servers on the clients that shouldn’t see them.

If you’re using the web app across the different locations, you might need to disable the option to sync the web app settings (Settings > Plex Web > General > Turn off settings sync)

I just reinstalled one of them under another account and its now good to go. What a ludicrous way to have to do it. But its now working much better than it was!
