I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.
They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.
I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.
Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.
The vpn is only needed for if
A. Your behind a CGNat
B. On a dynamnic ip and dont want to setup a dyndns.
C. isolating your network from the outside for security reasons.
Yes, but the point is that if you setup Wireguard then your Plex streaming is now local and free.
The question is... how to get devices that dont support wireguard to work?
