I don't get what the point of this is. I have never paid a cent for Plex. If I ever want to access my library remotely, I'll use something else.
Ya, I transitioned to an always on VPN a few years ago (VPN to my house, not one of those honeypot ones) so I don't even really need it anymore. But I paid something ridiculously low years and years ago. Whatever the price was before it moved to $75.
If I were starting from scratch today, I'd just build out Jellyfin instead.
What will you use? Because pretty much nothing else exists that is as easy and as widely supported as Plex.
It will probably be Jellyfin. I've dabbled with it in the past, but it's likely the best option once I finish transitioning to Linux anyway. I've been working on a home server to handle all media related activities instead of using my desktop 24/7, so this is something I'll incorporate into that project.
Well jellyfin is not made for remote access, which was my point.
