    You can disable the remote auth for your LAN devices in the settings. I haven’t read about or tested this setting yet regarding all IPs.

    Settings -> Network -> ‘List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth’ (e.g. 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0)

    Their servers as auth proxy can also be helpful with an ISP that uses a dual stack lite version with IPv6 and no public IPv4 behind a NAT. I was able to access my PLEX server from outside via their server auth. But then again I’m not streaming videos mobile due to traffic, so I have remote auth only disabled for my LAN.

      Yeah. I’m aware of that workaround, but the necessity for it shouldn’t exist. I was a Plex user before they forced their auth servers on you, and having to choose between getting locked out of your own infra or opening auth on your local network is a joke.
