RE: ACTION NEEDED: Your Plex Media Server availability

General Discussions

Firstly I’m very disappointed that Plex would take any actions to blanket ban the use of any Hosting provider, this sets a very bad precedent and if it leads to other hosting provider bans will ultimately impact many people.

What is to stop Plex from blanket banning a whole ISP with ToS breaches?

I hope you’ll reconsider your actions, you’ll ultimately end up harming your users and force them to competitors products.

Secondly, the notification that was sent out was so vague it’s impossible for users to know if they will be impacted or not.

My case is that I’ve used a Hetzner server to host Plex in the past but recently migrated this back home.

Plex Support: How can I confirm that I won’t be impacted?

Thanks but… it doesn’t actually answer any specific questions.

Unless I’ve missed it Plex have nowhere stated Hetzner by name.

Currently I don’t have an active server at Hetzner but I received the notification all the same, so I would like a way to verify that I won’t be affected.

If you’re hosting your Plex Media Server at home, then you will not be affected, @rus01. (If you received an email about this, then it’s likely because the device entry for your old Plex Media Server didn’t get removed from your Plex account.)
