For remote streaming to, say, your mum's house? (Or a friend, etc)?

    Yes, after I set up the server properly (reverse proxy). With this change the same setup on the server side is necessary for remote streaming with free Plex.

    My mum puts in the domain, username and password and starts streaming.

    …reverse proxy…

    Guess what I didn’t have to setup with Plex or Emby.
