Did anybody else receive notices about Plex shutting down access to servers hosted with Hetzner? Is anyone else pissed off about that?

Thanks Plex! You`re welcome taking my money and then denying service! I’ll migrate to Jellyfin - like most of your customers. Perfect planning on your end!

What is to stop them from blocking other hosts in the future. This sets a terrible precedence. A lot of people use dedicated servers and VPS to host their plex servers and its not against the TOS. Instead of sending C&D or dealing with criminals through legal channels, they are hurting legitimate cu…

Terrible precedence indeed. What’s next? OVH? I’ve been a legitimate, lifetime Plex Pass user for more than ten years now, and for the past six years I’ve run my personal PMS on a dedicated server hosted by OVH on the East Coast. I’m doing this mostly for latency reasons, since I live on the West C…

What about the people that use Hetzner for bandwidth reasons. Some use it for themselves on Hetzner all because it would be a lot faster for them to host it there, instead of clogging up their own internet.

This is literally me. I have 10mbps upload because of my crappy cable provider and travel regularly. I want to watch my media when I’m on the road

This is…an unfortunate heavy handed approach to screw over a lot of loyal Plex users. Plex clearly just wants to get in the pay for streaming business and is edging out all the loyal customers. I suspect this is the beginning of the end. If I had to guess, I would say all the cloudflare errors toda…

This is from earlier today: [image] Plex Fireside in the Forums General Discussions This is a super-important topic and one I’m personally invested in. First off, I have some bad news for you: I’m afraid we can’t really give any juicy details about what exactly we’re doin…

From that post: Most of the action here all happens in the shadows and it isn’t very visible to regular, legitimate users. And if we’re doing things right, it shouldn’t be visible or impact regular users welp… i dont think that will apply anymore after this hetz change takes place

[image] VBB: would you mind commenting here? Thanks! We don’t really have anything else specific to say that wasn’t covered in the email sent to affected users. If an affected user wishes to continue using their Plex Media Server without issue, they should move it to be hosted from home. (Or …

It’s probably not just hetzner. Thats part of the issue with this. For home users that don’t have the bandwidth, don’t want a computer on 24/7, or simply don’t want to open ports into their home network to the world have no guidance on where they can migrate to. You could go through the pain of migr…

By this logic, if a Xfinity user violates ToS Plex will block all Xfinity users. Solid reasoning. :roll_eyes:
