If it was just my parents and I using it, that’d be fine, but it’s not. In my experience, nothing is quite as simple as “always on”, and if something breaks, even unrelated to tailscale or anything I set up, I’ll be to blame even when it wasn’t my fault.

It just wouldn’t work for my users, unfortunately, and I don’t want to be responsible for endpoints not on networks I own. I’m not denying that it’s possible or that it works for some people.

That’s the real benefit of a solution like Plex - it makes it so I only have to manage my own network, and if I want to invite someone new, I just ask them for the email attached to their Plex account, and I’m done.

I also am curious where you’re finding rpi’s for $35.

Your users shouldn’t be upset because nothing has changed for them. It shouldn’t be the end of the world to tell your users that nothing has changed. None of my users have reached out.

I’m not a diehard fan of plex or anything, but I would never be able to get my mother in law to properly set up any type of VPN. None of my users are technically inclined. Until Jellyfin has a different solution, I will unfortunately be sticking with Plex.

It doesn’t matter that they got the email, everyone did. You need to read it further and see that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need to pay.

I don’t quite understand your confusion, they sent the email to everyone with an account. The email indicates clearly that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need it. The email is not “wrong”.
