Plex and Mullvad now that port forwarding is gone (lemmy.world)

Hi! I used to run Plex and forward a port through my vpn so I could access the service outside my network, like on vacation. This meant I could keep my vpn on and still access my content. I use Cloudflared to access other services in this way.

Now that my vpn has stopped allowing port forwarding, how can I again access my content while keeping my network private and secure?

You don't need to port forward or anything for Plex to work outside your network, right? That's the whole point of Plex. All my friends can access my server wherever.
