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.

Isn’t that for their CDN, rather than Zero Trust? I don’t think they even know what traffic is going over Zero Trust.

You can't play corporate videos over Cloudflare Warp? Where is the line drawn?

I think they don't want you using a boatload of bandwidth, since data proxies through their servers.

You can use Cloudflare for DNS, but you just can’t use them for proxying the traffic. I use Cloudflare with proxying on for everything other than a plex subdomain.

It’s not enforced in practice unless you run a giant server with a lot of traffic.

Not sure if you are a representative from Cloudflare. But regardless, Cloudflare intentionally made it ambiguous so that they can selectively enforce it.

For sure. But OPs point still stands, people run giant Plex servers and charge for access to the pirated content on them. Huge numbers of users. I imagine they want to enforce on those folks and not people who just happen to have their own running.

You could just disable cdn/caching.
