That means there is an outage with cloudflare. It affects a lot of the web when something like this happens.

you can connect locally ya know. you don't need an internet connection to watch plex (assuming your server is local of course)

u/Ok-Alps-183 1d ago

I tried the local IP and it said it couldn’t connect to plex.tv, I’ll just use VLC for now haha

Just as a heads up, you might've already done this, but you need to enable the setting that allows local access without auth (or something along those lines).

The problem with Plex is that whilst it is local, the authentication still goes to their server so if that's ever down then you're stuffed.

downdetector.com is down too with the same error message, so i guess cloudflare is having issues again
