If they have Plex pass then it’s still fine.
Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

Dammit, my friend just said he would give me access to his file server, all I have to do is install Plex. Presumably this announcement means that will become impossible without a subscription.

Tell him to switch to jellyfin and that he should give you tailscale access

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.
Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

Mmmmmaybe.
A lot of what they paywall depends on if the server runner’s account is a Plexpass holder. You might have to pay a one time fee for the app depending on what platform you choose.
Then again, there’s different ways of sharing your server, they might be keen on only including Plexpass for the Plex Home users and then paywall the E-mail shared users.

All it means is you can’t go through their servers. If you setup a different way to access your network (VPN) it’ll still work.
