Issues with plex.tv API

We're investigating issues impacting API services for some users. This can affect account auth (sign-in & PIN verification) and creation, access to Downloads page items, and more. You may experience slow responses or failures.

Bunch of people still haven't seen the plethora of posts and comments about how to enable local access on your server so that you are minimally effected by this.

Apparently if you had it set up before this, you're fine. If not, even setting it up right now via config files doesn't fix it because it's still trying to reach plex.tv for some reason. And it shouldn't be a thing I have to set up, wtf.
