If the host is on a VPN then you need access to that VPN to be able to access Plex.

Set up Bazarr.

Yeah a VPN isn't "necessary", but it's the most straightforward way. Unfortunately it's not really at all feasible for many people who currently play from other peoples plex libraries.

The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.

And now OP is saying that he's switching to Jellfin and thinks that all of his borderline illiterate "clients" will be ok with using a VPN to access Jellyfin, if their device even has Jellyfin lol.

Also the way that OP says "users" and "clients" makes it pretty clear that he is charging people for access to his library. He is ok with making money off Plex's work, but hates the idea of Plex making money.

If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money.

Plex is much better than jellyfin, especially for the exact thing this whole outrage is about - remote streaming.

This mindset is bizarre.

"Everyone should get out now because at some stage in the future Plex might get greedy and ruin it all and charge us through the nose. Move to Jellyfin! They'll definitely never ever do anything like Plex."

I think you know where this is heading....

Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

Strange how so many people don't have this same attitude towards the developers of Plex.

What exactly is being paid for here then?

Software support and the company existing, mainly, which I dunno about you but I'm ok with.

Bob your uncle will absolutely not use Tailscale to stream from Jellyfin, so Bob your uncle will no longer have access to OPs library.

I'll take that as the "Well I have no intelligent response because he's right" that it is.
