Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

I wonder if you can get around this by using cloudflare proxy for a domain and then in the settings for the server disabling remote access and only allowing discovery through your domain? I'm not with Hetzner but I'll give this setup a try and see how it goes.

Never even heard of Hertzner, but I'm super curious about your results, I'm currently running a proxy with CloudFlare on some services but not on Plex

So I got mixed results. With remote access disabled and just using subdomain for plex, it worked on the Windows desktop app, and my iPhone too through the browser, but on my Apple TV even though I could browse the library and select any video, they would not load.

What ended up working on all my devices is essentially running plex behind a VPN, AirVPN in this case because I need the port forwarding, and enabling remote access with the port assigned in AirVPN.

I followed this guide, in case you're interested: https://reddit.invak.id/r/PleX/comments/152kihs/guide_plex_remote_access_without_port_forwarding/

Thanks a lot for the update! Disappointing that it wouldn't work behind just CloudFlare, I know my parents use an Apple TV to watch stuff. While I don't happen to need this right now, it's very useful to know in case some additional restrictions happen.
