Do you mean something link subdomain.domain.tld? Because I have that set up with namecheap

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Do we have a r/rimjobsteve equivalent here?

The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

That's interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I've owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I'm not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn't understand why they're better for privacy than any other

Down votes is the price you pay for trying to be informative

Are there any of these communities you could recommend?

finance

even stuff like £ is unsupported.

Probably not an issue then...

You can just use ports as if you're on a local network.

This is the bit I find confusing. Doesn't Plex need that port to be open to the outside world?

Or is your setup only open to devices on your private tailscale network and therefore seeing it as local?

If that's the case, I'll need to see if tailscale can work with osmc, since that's what I have running on my raspi behind my tv

 

I currently have my Plex server open to the world. I realise that's probably not best practice, so I'm trying to find a solution that can work for me.

I've been looking at cloudflare tunnels and it seems like thats probably what I want. Giving me access to my home server from outside. And it's free, which is a nice perk

I've noticed however that the terms of service don't allow for video streaming, but is allowed in the paid tier. Before I commit to spending money, I'm curious if it's even technically possible. Plex tends to phone home to allow users to authenticate and locate their servers, so is that possible through tunnels?

Is this a waste of time? Is there a better solution? How are others dealing with this problem?
