I cut over from a Netgear Orbi setup last night and all the basics are working but today noticed that I couldn't access Plex anymore (internal or external). Plex is running on my Unraid server; Unraid itself is working as expected. I don't have any VLANs setup, wanted to start with how everything was setup as a baseline.
What I've done so far:
- added plex.direct (also tried *.plex.direct) to private domains in Unbound (this alone did not allow me to access Plex within my network) (private_domains.png)
- added DNET rule (dnet.png)
- firewall rule registered (firewall_wan.png)
With the above, I'm able to access Plex from my cellphone but I can't get to it on a PC connected to the network; I can get to the webui and the console shows some messages:
- net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED for https://xyz.abc.plex.direct:32400
- net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED for http://127.0.0.1:32400
- 406 (Not Acceptable) http://192.168.1.30:32400
I get the same using https://app.plex.tv/ or https://192.168.1.30:32400
Did I miss something simple to get this working? I noticed that the firewall rule was registered in the Rules section vs Rules [new] ... does that matter?
Any help is appreciated!
I was able to resolve the issue ... turns out it wasn't an opnsense issue at all. There was a dns server setting in Unraid's network setting pointing to my old setup.
