I run pretty much all my stuff through NPMplus. Then I have a firewall between my public and private networks in case something does get compromised. But I've had Plex exposed (on a non-default port) for literally years and nothing ever happens.
Why NPMplus and not the default NPM?
Primarily for the CrowdSec integration (one less thing to set up manually)
