Free Cloudflare account cannot be used to serve my Plex server. To me that's a no-go.

The specific term is: https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-applicatio...

My free account runs cloudflared tunnel just fine for jellyfin. Is it just plex?

I use the tunnel because my girlfriend cant install tailscale on her work laptop, so this way she can still login to jellyfin while traveling.

It’s not that it can’t do it, it’s that it’s against the terms of service to use it for video.

> it’s against the terms of service to use it for video

It for any large files. They want to limit bandwidth usage but not blanket limit everyone. One user using Plex of Jellyfin probably doesn't move the needle.
