Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

What about remote streaming, to other users...?

what about it? anyone who hosts a Jellyfin server probably already has a reverse proxy set up. if not, then that is another 2min setup required, if you don't know what you're doing.

I think the situation under discussion is converting plex users to jellyfin though. Most plex users won’t have a reverse proxy setup because it’s not needed.

this is the selfhosting comm. I'm willing to bet that virtually ever person here who has a home server of some kind, has a reverse proxy or VPN set up that they could access Jellyfin from.
