Reverse proxy means that your pi now has to handle all the traffic for Plex and any other services. It could also make other things difficult like CIFS/whatever else you're hosting.
Depending on what Pi you're using, it's networking is over USB, and so is quite performance constrained.

- paranoidrobot 4y agoIf we're talking about Plex, then local DNS is probably not going to help. The traffic could be coming in via your WAN connection and your router is just going to forward it to an IP.
- charcircuit 4y agoYou could use DSR (Direct Server Return) so that the pi only handles the initial connection. All the video traffic goes directly from the server to you without passing through the pi.
- aembleton 4y agoPi is perfectly capable of running Plex. Maybe run it on there with some cached data on the Pi and then the main content stored on the server. Then when accessing Plex, it will have all of the content showing what is available but in the background will be starting up the main server with the main content. I guess you could just attach an external HDD to the Pi. Thats worked for me before.
