So is this like a Tailscale alternative and not a way to expose your services?

CGNAT sends its regards.
(Although if you have IPv6 access you might get around this… But even in 2026 you will face issues going only this way).


What do you mean?, I don’t get what he/she is talking about.


Not really, it doesn’t fetch missing episodes or old content if you did a custom formats modification afterwards.
I never used Huntarr, only upgradinatorr though.


Maybe it is a necessary evil…
I always get into problems with old shows/anime when I stick with Plex’s tmdb… If I switch to tvdb all my issues are gone.


Yeah… That only applies for non CGNATED networks, and as we are in 2025 I’d say most users worldwide are CGNATED or don’t have an IPv6 address… Or worse, both.
If you are CGNATED Plex approach is useless, as their relay sucks as it only lets you play up to 2 (or 4 can’t remember) mbps 720p files lol (server will transcode to meet those requirements), if they wanted to charge for remote streaming they should at least increase the minimum Mbps allowed in their relay, that way I understand they fall into server costs by proxying our media… But until that happens, charging for remote streaming is a completely joke (much more if we have free alternatives to keep doing so in a plethora of devices thanks to Tailscale and Zerotier, the true GOATS with a CGNAT environment).


Imagine wanting to charge to stream your own media with your own hardware and resources… Hey wait, we don’t have to imagine it anymore, Plex already did it.
I forgot as I am a Plex Pass Lifetime user, and oh boy I’ll be sure to milk that out (actually after all these years I think I have already done that) just to keep being an annoying stat for Plex and nothing else 🤣
Ah, if only Oracle could take at least one of my multiple credit/debit cards.
