plexargod VS BunkerWeb

Would likely be cheaper than the static IP route. There's tons of guides for getting around CGNAT with Plex and other utilities. You could use an argo tunnel, but Cloudflare gets kinda sad proxying video.

I'll be dropping Mullvad and either switch to AirVPN or i'll try and get Plexargod up and running. Looks like a pain in the ass, most port related things imho but we'll see. https://github.com/danielewood/plexargod

Q: Can I still access Plex/Jellyfin/Emby and share it with others? A: Yes, and you don't need Mullvad just for this use-case. Cloudflare Argo tunnel is probably more efficient for that, since it's a large CDN and will have better latency in general. There is a tutorial.

You never needed Mullvad just for Plex behind NAT in the first place, but it can continue to work: https://github.com/danielewood/plexargod

plexargod may still be an option if you want to abuse their generous free tiers, lol.

You can kind of skirt the restrictions using something like plexargod I suppose.

The ToS come into play when you sign up for an account. You can still achieve the tunnels without creating any cloudflare accounts as seen in plexargod. It helps makes an otherwise manual process easier.

This guy even has a script to use without a domain name: https://github.com/danielewood/plexargod

Keep in mind that integrating a WAF can render certain apps not working if the security configuration is set too paranoid. There are a lot of examples for apps that might be affected, though.

Its documentation is nice as well. You can also find them on Discord and the GitHub repo is also pretty clean and have many example configurations there.

This also effectively allows your killswitch to be Nginx on the VPS while still allowing local network traffic at home. You can take it a step further and geoblock countries and more with https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb.

I know you asked about Nginx vs Caddy but to throw another one into the mix have a look at BunkerWeb. I only started using it within the last couple of months but it's based on Nginx with a tonne of usability and security improvements. I now use BunkerWeb to expose services externally and Traefik internally.

Creating a new discussion here doesn't seem to be an option (doesn't allow me to do so) so I came here.

There's also a security optimized NGINX image called BunkerWeb. It has a WAF builtin and an optional web interface.

Right now I'm doing a similar setup but I want to use NGINX with integrated WAF.

Bunkerised nginx comes me in mind here https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerized-nginx
