  • From what I can tell the server issues has been fixed. They are always making improvements.

    For the what I was trying to use it for it ended up not working for me. I was trying to build up a Plex server. But they didn’t want to have a large cache so started removing anything that wasn’t used in a few days. And didn’t reset the “timer” when you use it over WebDAV/rclone.

    I decided to just use real debrid because their cache is HUGE. But sadly they dont seed or have Usenet.

    I had already paid for a year of torbox so I still use it regularly for one off downloads not related to my Plex. I will probably still renew my subscription to keep using it for this. Though probably drop to a cheaper tier. I really like that it seeds the torrents and has Usenet.

    I hope one day I can fully replace RD with it, but I dont expect it anytime soon. The programs I use for my Plex setup where all adding tor box support when I made my original comment, but mostly dropped it when torbox changed their cache policy.



  • Its a lot simpler then that. Dont add them to your tailscale account. Each user should have there own tailscale account. Then you just send them a link to share your machine (your server) with their tailnet. Then all of there devices they have added on their account can access your server.

    Bonus: send them referrals and you get your device limit increased when they make a account. Which all they have to do is sign in with their google or apple account.









  • I dont use many PWA’s since I had to run them on chromium before. But as a web Dev and even more so as a user, I feel like PWA’s are the way to go. They completely avoid all the app stores drama plus the 30% fees. Also the devs get to deploy instant updates without the delay going through the app stores. Just like any other web app. If done right I could see them replacing most native apps. Assuming we can get apple to allow PWAs full CPU usage. Currently they are throttling them from what I understand.

    Edit: To clarify I’m speaking about mobile. I’ve never even tried PWAs on desktop and can’t imagine why I would use that over browser+bookmarks.









  • From what I understand running high bandwidth things like video streaming through cloudflare tunnels will get your cloudflare account banned or charged (which is why they require payment info to setup tunnels).

    Best to keep things like emby, jellyfin, and Plex to tailscale or just open the port.

    Idk how emby works but with Plex I feel pretty safe having port open. Since any logins have to auth though Plex’s servers.


  • Not really directly answering your question here so feel free to ignore me. But if I’m understanding right your setup sounds like a more complicated way of doing what I am.

    I put tailscale on all my devices. And in every docker compose for the ports I do. TailscaleIP:hostport:containerport

    So nothing can be access on local network at all. Only through tailscale. Which I can access from any of my devices locally or remotely without opening a port. All E2E encrypted I’m pretty sure. The only con is having to trust tailscale.

    I do keep Plex port open for friends though.
