    i'm ootl; how was plex able to ban them? isn't hetzner just a vps provider? (not questioning you; just curious)

      Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

        I’ve been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?

      Basically it's possible by checkin IP of the server.

    There’s the story but there’s not much tea.

    I’m guessing there were just enough complaints and Hetzner refused to take anything down.

    Really bizarre to license people self-hosting software and then refuse them from hosting it in certain places over what content they choose to put up.

    I wonder if they’ll just roll through all the VPS now.
