> I didn't like the idea of remote access proxied through them

This is not and has never been required. If by remote access you mean actually streaming from the public Internet, their proxies are a low-bitrate fallback in case you can't connect directly - and it can be disabled altogether IIRC.

The solution I use for remote access is tailnet plus exit nodes. It also is probably more secure as the attack surface is wireguard + the tailscale control plane rather than an entire internet facing Plex server.
Agree, same here.
Remote access is provided through them. The content is not. The access is. We're far past the point of quibbling technicalities to defend your chosen celebrity-company
Was the attempted offensive remark required to make your point?
