So is the auth needed to set up your plex in the first place? It has been forever sence I used it.
no, the auth to use it at all ... internet goes down and you can't watch your own movies on your own network. peak self hosting.
You can add IPs that are allowed to use it without auth. The software itself is running on your own server.
Ok that is good to hear!
That's simply not true. You can just set your local ip range as unauthenticated and use it to your hearts content without an internet connection.
