It would need to physically slap you through the screen to be worse than it already is. How is anyone still using it? inertia? there's literally no way anyone started using it after the subscription was added right?

I paid for a lifetime subscription 6 years ago... would definitely say I got my $80 worth.

Only complaint is that the streaming my own media files doesnt work great with my VPN, but I so rarely need that, so I havent spent much effort trying to figure it out. It's on my list of things to do though.

You don't need to run Plex through a VPN just any torrent clients.

Different strokes for different folks, I run all traffic through a VPN.

Split tunneling wasnt quite working. I'll spend time on it some day.

Good luck! I had tried to get it working when I didn't have a VPN with split tunneling available and nothing I tried ever seemed to work back then.

We shall see. ProtonVPN has some handy features that make it beneficial for me to route all traffic through.

A local university sells surplused towers for $40, so my last resort is to get ime of those and only run plex on that computer and not have a VPN on that one.
