You don't know much about it. When you connect to a Plex server, you have to log into their backend, or it doesn't even know how to connect. It also does all the accounts/permissions stuff. An internet outtage is, unfortunately, a Plex outtage.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoThat isn't true. There's a setting in the server for networks which are allowed to access without authentication.

In rare cases, you may decide that you wish to allow very specific access from the local network without authentication. You might do this if using a third-party Plex app, which doesn’t support authentication, for instance (though all modern official and third-party apps should already support authentication). To make an exception, look in your Plex Media Server’s advanced network settings, under Settings > Server > Network > List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth. Here, you can specify LAN addresses as either a specific IP or a IP/netmask (to specify a range). Separate multiple values by a comma and be sure not to include any whitespace (e.g. spaces).
- cyberax 1y agoI have never set up a remote connection. My phone and laptop have a VPN connection back to my home network, and Plex just works. My TV also uses a local connection. I believe that the regular "external" connection requires a STUN server, so it will fail without Internet.
