> internet-facing Plex servers
This is terrifying. Who runs things like this open to the outside?
Many people, as your TV and sometimes friends have to connect to it and you don't want to explain Tailscale to them.
You largely have to for Plex themselves to middleman access to your media collection.
I do. I like to stream music from my server onto my phone when I'm out and about. And it's authenticated, so there's nothing terrifying about exposing it (security vulnerabilities aside, but that can happen to any software you expose).

Affects an older version of Plex and was patched in August.
