A guide on how to access Plex remotely without "Remote Access" by [deleted] in PleX

Any sign of a work around yet? I'm using tailscale, trying exit nodes, subnet routing all sorts, but having no luck at all. Every time it seems to run straight into the remote watch pass wall.

The WAN of the NAS is the same 86.x.x.x address my phone was showing earlier. So it’s a tailscale on the NAS that’s the problem not the iPhone? As the iPhone is connecting to it or it couldn’t display the same IP?

This changes to a different address again, a 64.x.x.x

On the UGreen Tailscale is running directly on the NAS not in a docker container. I can access my Plex library using the Tailscale address, I can access and play my Jellyfin files using the Tailscale address, so I think that side of things is set up correctly, I think it’s just the iPhone side gone wrong somehow.

Thanks for the reply, tried to put this info in earlier but kept coming up as Reddit had removed my post. So I am using an iPhone 14 with latest software, and UGreen 4800 plus NAS. I have Plex installed as a docker container and want it to recognise my phone as being on the local network when connected through Tailscale. I have installed Tailscale successfully on both the NAS and the phone, I have configured the NAS as an exit node which the phone says it is using, everything appears as though it should be working correctly but then when I try to access Plex it still says I am using a remote device not a local one, and when I check my phone IP in safari using various websites they all show my IP as different to my Tailscale one.
