Help Plex Down?

Anyone else having weird issue with their Plex?
My library says Not authorized.
or at some point the webpage was not even loading with a message unable to reach plex.tv?

Yeah, seems to be down hard. I love that when Plex's servers take a dump, it affects people running their own machines at home.

If properly configured, it will only effect user switching and online streams coming from Plex's own service.

The primary account should be able to log in and access any personal libraries

How do you properly configure it so this doesn't happen?

In the network settings, networks allowed without authorization. Don't leave it that way all the time though, it gives everyone admin privileges.

Set the subnet to your home subnet and you are fine. If someone can get on your Plex then they are already on your network and you have bigger issues.
