Tailscale isn't necessary, it's just what I use for remote access. And you can use Jellyfin/Emby/Kodi with Radarr too, it's not specific to Plex.
SOCKS5 proxy keeps the letters away (I live in NYC). I've read that it's because ISP's don't bother actually monitoring torrent traffic. They only act when a copyright holder reports your IP for piracy. So if you hide your IP then they can't see you.
A proxy is not encrypted, to be clear. But it turns out encryption isn't actually necessary if you just want your ISP to stop bugging you. If laws change and torrenting becomes more dangerous, I'll probably switch to a proper VPN. But a proxy is faster and easier.
Not OP, but this is good info. I’m going to be doing something like this over the course of the next few days, and these are good details. Thank you.
