Setup Plex for Use in an Airbnb

I am in the process of setting up an Airbnb in the next couple of months and was wondering if it’s feasible to setup a Plex server for the unit? I’d setup the server at home. Is there a security issue I should be concerned about? Is there anything that I can do to lock it down?

Doing so would constitute a commercial use. And is therefore forbidden by Plex’s terms.

Not to mention that this is also violating copyright law.

A legal and legitimate way is connecting a Roku streaming stick on the back of the tv and set it up using GUEST MODE. This allows your guests to use the streaming stick with their own streaming service logins and can be used both with iOS and Android devices. Once they are ready to leave, all the guests have to do is logout and all their personal accounts are no longer registered to that device. This is the better and legal way to approach this. Sharing Plex servers as noted in your inquiry above is prohibited and breaks laws. Don’t do it.
