That’s not been my experience, except for my MIL who somehow keeps resetting her client quality settings to 720 making my server transcode. My ISP is also really shitty so I’m honestly not sure the bandwidth numbers leaving my server.
I believe you. I’m just saying that quality of streaming remotely hasn’t been an issue for me (other than my MIL being a boomer and messing up her settings.)
Doesn’t the Plex proxy stream cap at 2 MB/s ?
So unless you are fine with such a low bitrate, opening a port with Plex is also required, be it done manually or with UPNP. (Disregarding VPNs here)
Or am I missing some other way to stream content with Plex?

From Plex’s site on the relay service:
