Restrict the client access to a Plex Media Server to user specified IP addresses

  • 772

To play videos from my computer on my television I am using Plex Media Server. Unfortunately, with Plex Media Server running, any device on my LAN can access this DLNA server.

I want to restrict the client access to the Plex Media Server to a selection of local IP addresses, but I can't seem to find such an option in the program. How do I solve this?

  1. Your default firewall is ufw

    ufw has a graphical front end, gufw

    You allow access to your desired IP, and deny from the rest.

    You need to identify the ports your plex server is listening on and ip you wish to allow.

    See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw

    If you need more specific assistance, please update your question with additional details.
