Hi  
I have run an plex media server for some years now and the thought came to me now, when i have given an account to many friends. how good is the streaming security? Is it encrypted so that my isp cant see whats streaming even if im not using an VPN?  
Or anyone else?

i dont know how to say in english but in swedish we say MVH Micke

You define it in the settings, under network, and is named `Secure connections`
