Might not be the best place to say this, but considering Plex relies on online authentication servers to function it might be better for you to look into Jellyfin which works fully offline.
You can just skip auth on local IPs.
Make sure you don't use bit subnet masking i. e. 192.168.1.0/24
Use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 version.
Hey I’ve seen this mentioned before on other posts and have done so on my plex server as well.
But this is the first time I saw someone mention bit subnet masking. Would you mind elaborating a bit? I’m also trying to learn a bit of networking so was curious. Thanks!
you should look into IPv4 subnetting.
a brief explanation, v4 address is in
a.b.c.dformat. a, b, c and d are 8bit decimal (that means 0 to 255)to get more ip available, address is sub divided into network and host part and is called subnetting.
192.168.0.0/24=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0=11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000that means
192.168.0is the network and the last0is for the hosts. 0 and 255 is reserved for broadcasting.Thanks for taking the time to answer. I will look into this more and get more familiar with it.
