The notice does not specify the provider, but I host my Plex server on Hetzner and received the notice. (And I don't host any pirated material, nor share my server with anyone else. This is beyond infuriating.)

- thedaly 3y agoI also host with Hetzner and I also received the notice. The consensus on reddit and the plex forums is that the hosting provider in question is Hetzner. Very poor decision on Plex's part. I've been using the service for over 8 years and will now have to start considering alternatives.
- fragmede 3y agoYou may not be hosting pirated material, but apparently it is popular to setup a plex server in hetzner and an auto-torrenter, and then sell access to it.
- oliwarner 3y agoSo why don't they just block those accounts? If they're all authenticating centrally for access to these servers and I assume lots of accounts per server, they could just stick a fair client limit on accounts (eg limit the number of new clients from multiple IPs, existing clients could roam networks without limit). What they're proposing seems like a very shortsighted grasp for the cheapest solution, ignoring the fact that many paid users are looking at Jellyfish et al.
- mplewis 3y agoSo what does this have to do with me?
- fragmede 3y agoI don't know. Who are you? I responded to LeoPanthera.
- hoffs 3y agoIt might be popular but in forums people generally advocate against since their tos has clauses for that, while there are seed box friendly hosts elsewhere
