Using Plex on Hetzner with Wireguard VPN (Docker). First, thanks to ShipkaChalk (https://gist.github.com/ShipkaChalk/629fdc42dad781776d2007fc502188f3) and his original tutorial that helped me a lot to get the client part. With this tutorial, you can route all Plex traffic via Wireguard out of another VPS (2$ IONOS Ubuntu VPS), this can be used for any container but here to bypass the Hetzner block by Plex.

1. Get yourself a Linux VPS (ex : Ubuntu 22.04)

2. Make all updates :

sudo apt update

Hey, here is how you can route all plex traffic via wireguard out of another VPS, this can be used for any container but was inspired by the recent Hetzner block Plex put in place.

And no not all of us are using it for nefarious means, sometimes people don't have room for a home server.

Why docker? I prefer it as it keeps items separated and cleaned. It also allows for quickly moving configurations around from server to server if need be.

1. Get yourself a VPS. ( If your VPS has a built in firewall like IONOS (but don't use Ionos), then you need to allow through the ports specified in the VPS docker compose)
2. Install docker ( Do not use snap, follow their offical directions otherwise you may have docker related issues. )
3. Create this docker-compose.yml
