I have a Plex server in Canada with OVH and on my local connection it worked fine for years to stream movies and TV. Even 1080p stuff worked fine. Then it appears that CenturyLink started shaping port 32400. So I got a 5 dollar droplet on Digital Ocean (SF) and now use that for a VPN. Plex works fine. I can switch the VPN on and off and it makes a huge difference. Without the VPN it is constant buffering.
