… yea, I agree.

If you’re at-all concerned with DRM protections, it’s probably better to use a service that is not reliant on making calls to an outside server. Thats not a comment on the factual accuracy of OP’s experience, that’s just common sense.

Idk what drm message you’re talking about, but it sounds like another reason not to use plex.

I recommend jellyfin or emby instead.

You need to set up a dynamic seedbox ip

I have this exact setup. You’ll need to setup a bash script to update your client ip, since gluetun will periodically change servers

There are a couple forum posts walking through it, it’s pretty simple

If you’re into selfhosting I’ve heard good things about tube archivist. It integrates with jellyfin
