Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing
Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 1 week agoHow many people with a folder full of media also know how to safety expose a home server to the internet? It would be less than 1%.
Meanwhile, you don’t need network engineer levels of knowledge to run Plex for remote access. You download the software, choose the folder, and send your friends a share link.

This is a perspective I didn’t realize. I only used Plex for a short while before switching to Jellyfin, but I didn’t know Plex handled server connection like this (I think I setup direct connections from the beginning but it’s been a while).
Thanks for the info!

It can but bitrate is limited without direct connect. It’s an awful way to configure Plex.
