Hi! I used to run Plex and forward a port through my vpn so I could access the service outside my network, like on vacation. This meant I could keep my vpn on and still access my content. I use Cloudflared to access other services in this way.
Now that my vpn has stopped allowing port forwarding, how can I again access my content while keeping my network private and secure?
You must log in or register to comment.
First, you don’t really need a VPN to view Plex content. Plex can be configured to require a secure connection. That ought to be enough. But if you want the VPN tunnel for some reason, the answer is simple: self-host your own VPN server. I recommend OpenVPN or Wireguard.
I use Tailscale with my Jellyfin server.
This was my recommendation too. Simplest setup you could ask for to create a VPN connection between devices with wireguard as the base.
