How to improve Plex streaming from Kimsufi (France) to Australia?

Heard Cloudflare isnt good for Australia, heard that maybe reverse proxy through a local VPS is a good idea? I found a cheap one with 1TB bandwidth which will be enough for me.

How do I get it so only plex streams go through the VPS and nothing else?

    You'll want to find something that has good peering but having your server in France you're not going to have the best experience. My server is located in Australia and lots of people in Europe use it but it's mostly luck that it works nicely and a couple of people in the US need to use VPNs to get a good connection.

    Haven't used it before but this looks promising. https://github.com/toomuchio/plex-nginx-reverseproxy

    What host do you use in Australia that doesn't mind transcoding that sometimes happens or do you just deactivate transcoding all the time? Looking for one that has like 2TB of bandwidth for a decent price.

    I run:
    2x E5-2670
    64GB RAM
    525GB SSD RAID1
    26TB Usable Space

    On a 250/100 fibre connection from my house.

    This has nothing to do with my business and is a personal project.

    Try using the BBR or Illinois TCP congestion algorithms on the server.

    Plex runs on some 32XXX Port Cloudflare doesn't support that.

    You can run it on different ports but you loose support for some devices.

    You lose support for all TVs and resumes after pause (needs reload), works on PC and android though.

    And how much its cost to build something like that?

    A proxy won't help, been there in almost the exact situation. I had to rent a dedi a few states away instead and that helped tremendously. TBH, you'd have better luck with Asian or US dedi than EU based on location.

    How do you even get 250/100 in Australia? Do you bond connections or something?

    NBN has retail plans up to 1000/400 :) You've just got to have a provider that has a good network and be willing to pay the price.
