Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April (www.plex.tv)

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Hmmm, i use a Synology NAS with Jellyfin installed and my family can use their Roku TVs without issue. I didn't realize Synology made a difference there

It totally depends on how you expose it to the outside world. If it's exposed just like it is, it works fine with every device. If you put an authentication before it (e.g. Authelia), it can only be accessed by browsers from outside the network. That being said, it's not recommended to expose Jellyfin directly, because there are a ton of security flaws. Best practice is to use a VPN

Well I'm a Luddite so I'm probably exposing myself to miners or something

Better than exposing yourself to minors

it can only be accessed by browsers from outside the network.

Weird.
If I nslookup my jellyfin URL it responds with an IP in my local IP range...
And it works both outside with a 2FA page and inside without...

I do this too but it only works on my home network not remotely.
