  Nope, 100% of my external users go through CF tunnels. The downside is that the caching results in the entire file being cached immediately if the user is not using transcoding, but most of my users are utilizing transcoding. I put a bandwidth limiter on my Cloudflare tunnel to limit it to 100Mbps I don't have any actual stats, but there appear to be about 10-20 hours a day of remote streaming, mostly at 3Mbps. So we're only looking at 400-800GB on average per month. Also, you can use Cloudflare unregistered free tunnels just like the article, but using registered tunnels makes it so you don't have to update the Plex url every time you reconnect. I used unregistered tunnels until Cloudflare made tunnels available on free tier accounts with no bandwidth charges.

  Ive been using a tunnel to share my jellyfin server to friends for about a year. Its pretty much a proxy for it (add jellyfin:port to the config, start cloudflared, access on jellyfin.my.domain on cloudflare). I havent had any issues with bandwidth but it depends on how much you push through it. Ive seen stories throughout the years of people pushing 30-50TB before getting a temp ban from using cloudflare services. Of course DNS still works but you just cant use their proxy/cdn/tunnels/etc
