Plex behind cloudflare tunnel
I currently have my Plex server open to the world. I realise that's probably not best practice, so I'm trying to find a solution that can work for me. I've been looking at cloudflare tunnels and it seems like thats probably what I want. Giving me access to my home server from outside. And it's free, which is a nice perk I've noticed however that the terms of service don't allow for video streaming, but is allowed in the paid tier. Before I commit to spending money, I'm curious if it's even technically possible. Plex tends to phone home to allow users to authenticate and locate their servers, so is that possible through tunnels? Is this a waste of time? Is there a better solution? How are others dealing with this problem?

Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn’t use it concerns me.

If you use it, what is your experience?
