Plex Issues with 21.1, spotty connection

[GregTheHun]

So,

I have a lot of bog standard configurations on my OPNSense config, and everything seems to be working great when it comes to connecting out or in on the network.

My LAN, OPT1, and OPT2 interfaces are allowed to talk to anything going out. In theory my Roku device should be able to connect to my Plex server without issue, but it is the only thing on my network that when I try to connect, it may or may not function. When it does function it's usually with issues like skipping a bit of video and then eventually disconnecting.

Anybody else have experiences like this that might be able to help?

Thank in advance.

So, couple things, misread a label that meant that any machine that didn't have a DHCP lease statically wouldn't connect. Oopsie.

Secondly, I noticed that the main reason Plex won't work after that setting, is that if I use required encryption on Plex, it doesn't allow me to connect.

Anybody have any clues on that? I'd like it to have nothing but encrypted connections. (even on home network)

Not really an OPNsense issue, but anyway: https://support.plex.tv/articles/206225077-how-to-use-secure-server-connections/
