Depending on what type of authentication plex uses it could be attacked by hackers. I would use wireguard if I was doing that.
Could you please help me understand why you would use wireguard over letsencrypt for a remote plex server

Letsencrypt, which has essentially become Swag, is necessary only if you want something like Nextcloud or a media server accessible from the internet. If you only want to access OMV remotely, as donh suggests, WireGuard or some other vpn works nicely and safely. TechnoDadLife has a video how-to for WireGuard.
Thank you for the response, I have plex accessible from the internet via forwarding port 3400. Would it be recommended I then install let's encrypt?

Hey guys apologies for the silly question, but can someone please advise me or point me in the right direction to what's the point of using letsecnrypt
Does it then make it safe to forward your ports to modem, and you can now remotely access your OMV server safely?
I see it also being a requirement for nextcloud.I'm assuming there's no need for it if you're using wireguard/openvpn to access your server remotely as your ports won't be forwarded for the world to see?

Yep that's the one.

What was the solution to this problem?
I'm having the same issue

EDIT: to add, it doesn't instantly use up all my bandwith. It takes about 30 minutes or so from my computer being booted (with SMB shares mounted).
If I restart computer, all will be fine till about 30 minutes again in which case the network usage will slow down everything.I've also noticed it occurs even with CIFS shares being mounted. Although mounting the ssh is fine...

Hey guys, upon running 'iftop -n' via ssh on my home OMV server, i get the following;

However I notice this 'issue' only occurs when I mount the shared SMB drive. But I have no idea what's causing this high usage, I'm not doing anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
