I recently ran into an error after the newest Plex update where I was no longer able to get remote access through my Plex. I have been using Tailscale and trying to get as many apps comfortably working on it as Umbrel, as of yet, has no https functionality.

After a bit of research I was able to get Plex to run exclusively through Tailscale with these steps:

1. Have Tailscale setup and know your vpn ip for your server.

2. Make sure to have remote access disabled on Plex.

3. go to Plex webview and enter settings \> Network.

4. Under Custom server access URLs, type the servers Tailscale IP 'http://:32400

5. Save Changes

6. Done

Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this error.

If I am understanding this, [http://000.000.000.000/32400](http://000.000.000.000/32400) (where the zeros are instead the IP address) is correct?
