Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.
Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.
Welcome! Consider a VPN if you need remote access, unless you plan to share it publicly with a lot of people. It’s a bit more work, but safer than directly exposing your PC to the internet.
In this case, it would be a VPN hosted on your home server/router or a VPS. A commercial VPN wouldn’t help you here, although you can use it in combination.
You have to port forward for Plex as well.
No I believe upnp took care of that in some form, Plex sets it up.
Jellyfin also supports UPnP, but you really shouldn’t be exposing the raw ports to the public anyways.
Ideally, you’d setup Jellyfin and a reverse proxy like SWAG that handles the SSL stuff for you.
Thanks, I just realized what community I was in lol. Stumbled in here from the everything tab, so now I understand the technical stuff!
I’ll stick around here a while you’ll have me!

Thanks! I actually already have a PIA subscription that I use frequently

That’s still port forwarding. It’s just automated.
A well-configured network that follows security best practices should always have UPnP disabled.
Well, not sure if I have that then.
