Freenas no metadata with plex/no available plugins any more

[radmanhs]

I recently moved my freenas setup to a vm because of the terrible performance loss from bhyve when using windows. Ever since I've been having trouble with my plex plugin.  At first I just couldn't get any metadata and now the whole plugin section of freenas isn't responding.  I am able to download and create a plex jail and can access the plex giu if I use freenas 11.2 new gui.  However I am stuck in that case at the no metadata, in addition to not being able to use dhcp for the setup process.  If I try to use dhcp I just get an error message and no error if I set up a static IP.  With no luck for the metadata part and the messed up dhcp I decided to try the legacy freenas gui, with even worse luck.  When I open the plugins tab all it says is "No available plugins services".  I have checked the gateway and added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the nameservers with no luck.  I can check for updates and ping services without an issue, so my vm is getting an internet signal.

Any ideas what's happening?

Edit, I just saw that 11.2 legacy doesn't support.  I still have the issue with plex not loading metadata.  Additionally I noticed if I have a vpn running on my windows machine, the videos take a long time to load, unlike before the change.
