PfSense + Plex Media Server + PIA…Can it be done??

Someone else mentioned AirVPN yesterday […]
It was me….in Plex Forum.
I don't think you can manage access using domain, take a look to the Captive Portal features.

Oh haha, what up!
I will take a look at the captive portal features. I'm assuming if you're suggesting it that you can setup captive portal that doesn't require login?
Also, side note in regards to AirVPN…What kind of speeds do you get connecting to their servers?
-
I am not skilled with captive portal, I don't use it.
Regarding AirVPN, I have a poor 20/1 line, and I can connect to their servers at that speed (minus natural overhead), they don't apply any filter or throttle. -

How do you manage to have Plex working with 1Mbps upload speed? I imagine the upload speeds I get with AirVPN will be a big factor for whether or not I decide to go with them.

I am a home user, I don't stream outside my LAN….my upload requiremts are pretty low. In any case I am waiting for fiber.....100/10 is enough.
Please let me know how will go with AirVPN. -

Please let me know how will go with AirVPN.If you don't stream outside your LAN, why did you port forward through AirVPN for Plex?

I stream only mp3, not videos, and only 1 user….me. The rest of my family enjoy local stream, movie, cartoons, etc etc.... :P

Ahhhhh I see, that makes sense. Well it's just good to know that you were able to get your server accessible over your WAN but hiding it via AirVPN. I'm going to have to investigate what kind of speeds I can get through them because my server is consistently serving 5-6 users and I have a 75Mbps upload connection.

With appropriate hardware you see a 10%hit on your non vpn throughput
I'm on a 120/10 and see 111/9 usually aes256 blah blah aes-ni on a c2758 board etc -
