What is plex indirect?

Plex Indirect is a method of accessing and streaming content from the Plex media server that does not require port forwarding or any special network configuration. This is accomplished through the use of a relay server that acts as a middleman between the media server and the Plex client. This is useful for users who are behind restrictive firewalls or have ISPs that block certain ports, as it allows them to access their media remotely without having to deal with network configuration issues. However, because the traffic is being routed through a third-party server, it may result in some loss of performance or reliability compared to direct connections.
