Hi guys, so I’m relatively new to Plex and have set up my server on an old gaming PC with good hardware, used only for Plex. However I can’t enable remote access due to lack of control over the router, so I use Tailscale to watch in original quality outside my home. Tailscale is only set up on my Plex server PC, not on other devices.
The issue: I can’t stream content over ~15,000 kbps outside my house, even though the devices I use to watch have at least 100 Mbps download speeds, and the Plex PC has an ~800 Mbps upload connection. Could Tailscale be the issue?
Also (my second question), have I set up Tailscale securely? I use these commands:
tailscale serve --bg --https 10000 http://localhost:32400/
tailscale funnel --bg http://localhost:32400/
And my ACL config looks like this:
{
“acls”: [
{ “action”: “accept”, “src”: [“”], “dst”: [“:*”] }
],
“ssh”: [
{ “action”: “check”, “src”: [“autogroup:member”], “dst”: [“autogroup:self”], “users”: [“autogroup:nonroot”, “root”] }
],
“nodeAttrs”: [
{ “target”: [“autogroup:member”], “attr”: [“funnel”] }
]
}
I then also set up a tailscale custom server access url in the Plex server settings
I know Tailscale isn’t ideal for this, but it’s my only option for now. Any advice on fixing the bitrate issue or confirming my setup is secure? Thanks!
