Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Dam thats what I thought. Emby has something similar but doesnt force you to use it so I don’t.
Emby has what they call ‘Emby Connect’ which is entirely optional and is basically a glorified DNS service.
It doesn’t proxy connections, it just passes on the hostname to the client. The server is still required to setup port forwarding or other routing like tailscale or a proxy on a vps.
Emby Connect will let you sign into your local server using your emby.media credentials, but unlike Plex it’s completely optional and only works once explicitly linked to the local user of an Emby server.
