ike if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin

I don’t see why there should be any problem, as they use different ports. Plus I’ve had no troubles running a Jellyfin and Navidrome instances, plus some other self-hosted services alongisde Snowflake.

I’m really glad to have helped you :). Tor is very mystified, but an awesome tool, and very neat from a technical point of view. In case you haven’t seen them, I recommend these 2 amazing videos from Computerphile: How TOR works and TOR Hidden Services
