I use Hetzner as a seedbox and then have PLEX as my media server ran on the same hardware. It’s worked perfectly fine for years. But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future.
Does anyone know if that’s a real possibility?
Also, if I setup a VPN and just download stuff I torrent from my seedbox to a local PLEX server, would I be in any more risk of legal issues then I am now?
Am I looking at this completely wrong, and I should do something completely different?
To clarify what I am thinking of doing:
Keep my Hetzner as my seedbox and continue to download using my IPTorrents account. Setup a Local Plex or Jellyfin server and download from my seedbox to that local server that will be ran behind a VPN.
not really a striesand effect but I’d never heard of hetzner until plex blocked them and now im heavily considering moving my library over
It’s not like Hetzner is a small player in the European datacenter VPS market. :p
