Routing plex traffic through an SSH tunnel

This guide creates a reverse SSH tunnel to route all Plex server traffic through it.

Step 2 is done on the tunnel, all other steps are done on the plex server.

1. Setup SSH keys (if you already have key based authenthication setup skip to step 2)

On plex server:

Install Nginx on Mac OS from source

no Homebrew required

1. Download Nginx

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ curl -OL http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.12.2.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf nginx-1.12.2.tar.gz && rm nginx-1.12.2.tar.gz

How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

Wireguard and iptables restrictions for multiple users

If you don't know what Wireguard is, well, you should. It's fast, easy to setup and highly configurable. We will configure Wireguard for multiple users with various restrictions using iptables.

Assumptions

This should fit most setups (not mine though 😉)
