Finally got round to swapping out the POS Huawei router I was using for Quic, and setup my old Zyxel.

 

Everything is running fine except for Plex.

 

I've enabled ports as I have done with this router previously, but for some reason any machine on the LAN refuses to see the content from my hosted Plex server.

 

On the host itself, everything is fine, and remote access responding correctly.

 

So I changed the DNS on my workstation to 8.8.8.8 - hello, Plex now working.

 

So figured I'd specify Quic's DNS in my DHCP - Plex dead again.

 

So does Quic not like Plex servers, or is there something else I'm missing....

Hey @xpd

 

Definitely nothing against Plex servers! 😉

 

Only thing I could think of is our recursive DNS servers do check for and validate DNSSEC. If the record for your Plex server does have invalid DNSSEC, we won't return a record to you so that we don't pass a spoofed record.

 

Feel free to PM me the FQDN of your Plex server and I can do a couple traces to see where it's getting stuck.

Plex works no problems with me. It sounds like your router is blocking DNS Rebinding to me.

Thanks guys, did see someone mention DNS rebinding on Plex forums..... so will see if I can work that out on this router - it is an older beast.

Can confirm Plex works fine for me on Quic

OK, now on Fritz 4790, found the rebinding option - my brain is frazzled at the moment, so can someone tell me what should be entered there as an exclusion ?  :D

If your Plex server uses one of your domains but points to private IP e.g. 192.168.2.100 then you should enter the full domain name e.g. plex.xpd.nz there.

@xpd I'm pretty sure you can disable DNS Rebinding Protection on the Fritz!Box. Else, you're able to also grab the domain name by loading up https://plex.tv logging in and then viewing the network tab in dev tools:

 

 

Basically grab the https://xfkzsdhfsdf.plex.direct:32400 URL and shove it into rebind protection. The URL should start with the private IP address of your Plex server (make sure this is fixed too). While you're at it set up a port forward for Plex to use.
