Plex Media Server

[Bruno_A]

I just finished setting up a Plex Server at home, and it's great. There's just one thing, though. It seems like I MUST have a login for Plex? If I go to "[plex local IP]:32400", on a machine on the network, I get redirected to "app.plex.tv", on the internet, and I have to use my Plex account to see my local content. Is there no way of viewing my content without internet access? I want multiple users to be able to stream, inside the network, and don't want to have to give them the Plex account for that. Basically, what I want is a full-offline setup. Is this possible at all?

yes you can, just go to your server settings on plex an under network there is a section you can add ip addresses that are allowed to access your server without an account. Here is a better explanation with some screenshots https://www.howtogeek.com/303282/how-to-use-plex-media-server-without-internet-access/

Is what I use. It doesn't ever redirect me.

Awesome, that worked.

 

I actually had done this, but I put the Subnet Mask wrong.

It's working now, it only works if you have the configuration that @IgorM mentioned. I put the network mask as 255.255.255.255, initially, and it didn't work. I guess I got carried away when typing the 255's.

Yeah, I misinterpreted what you wanted.
