    Plex’s remote play works for me when I’m away from home - which is on starlink. Jellyfish does not, because starlink uses cgnat. 🤷

        Can you share a free proxy that would work for them?

        Otherwise you’d be recommending them use a paid service “like a moron”

            So your suggestion is to convince a friend to let me tunnel all my Internet traffic through their connection, with no concern of uptime?

            I mean yeah, I guess that works, but is unreliable, and in some cases unobtainable.

            Seems like a paid service would be easier for quite a few folks.

              Or just the traffic you need to

              I’ve done this for people. With a good connection, it’s fine.

              This may shock you, but noncommercial relationships can be be helpful for fighting the oppression of corporate oligarchy.

                My non-commercial relationships are fine. I just don’t have the time or energy to teach non-self-hosters the ramifications of me connecting tailscale or wire guard on their machines.

                I guess you get a star sticker? Good for you that you have a solution that works for you, however it won’t work for most folks, and that doesn’t make them morons.

        You mean like the one that Plex provides with Plex pass?
        I haven’t been able to find a free proxy provider that is ok with streaming video. Closest I’ve found is CloudFlare, and video streaming isn’t permitted on their free tier.
        Plex pass is a lot cheaper for me than paying for CloudFlare’s non-free tiers, especially since I got myself a lifetime pass 3 years ago.
