Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data

If they adhered to somewhat modern security principles for their Backend I wouldn’t mind hosting it behind a reverse proxy. But since large parts of the API is unauthorized and unprotected, I wont.

And I do not plan on supporting family and friends in setting up vpns on all of their devices

What are the worries behind it? Last time someone was worried about the security it was about knowing filenames of the stuff you host by brute forcing iirc

  The issue is their approach to security. I don’t trust them to properly secure their software, since they have proven to prefer client compatibility over security.

    Understandable. I don’t worry that much myself since I haven’t heard anything bad happening yet. And with ro rights to media, potential damage at least should be pretty limited.

    You’re in a post about people outraged about an opt-in data sharing option on Plex, and you’re not worried about known security issues because you haven’t heard of anything bad happening yet?
    
    Make it make sense.

    Depends entirely on where you live I would think.
