So far this is the only place I’ve seen mentioned regarding video streaming, that is still up anyway:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/more-dashboard-apps/cloudflare-stream/delivering-videos-with-cloudflare/

It’s not entirely clear and I don’t know if this is outdated or not.

I was using their proxy for video streaming for a while, but stopped cause I would rather not risk it. Maybe for personal use it could be ok

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t know

So I got mixed results. With remote access disabled and just using subdomain for plex, it worked on the Windows desktop app, and my iPhone too through the browser, but on my Apple TV even though I could browse the library and select any video, they would not load.

What ended up working on all my devices is essentially running plex behind a VPN, AirVPN in this case because I need the port forwarding, and enabling remote access with the port assigned in AirVPN.

I followed this guide, in case you’re interested: https://reddit.invak.id/r/PleX/comments/152kihs/guide_plex_remote_access_without_port_forwarding/

I wonder if you can get around this by using cloudflare proxy for a domain and then in the settings for the server disabling remote access and only allowing discovery through your domain? I’m not with Hetzner but I’ll give this setup a try and see how it goes.

I currently have a VPS with Contabo. I think their prices are good. They have normal VPSs for more compute power with nvme storage, and they also have what they call Storage VPS, which I assume uses SATA ssds but they give you more storage vs the other ones. I’d say give them a look

The other day I learned about endlessh. I set that up, switched my actual sshd to listen on a different port, and the ssh login attempts from randoms essentially went down to 0. Pretty neat.
