I paid for a lifetime subscription 6 years ago... would definitely say I got my $80 worth.
Only complaint is that the streaming my own media files doesnt work great with my VPN, but I so rarely need that, so I havent spent much effort trying to figure it out. It's on my list of things to do though.
You don't need to run Plex through a VPN just any torrent clients.
Different strokes for different folks, I run all traffic through a VPN.
Split tunneling wasnt quite working. I'll spend time on it some day.
Good luck! I had tried to get it working when I didn't have a VPN with split tunneling available and nothing I tried ever seemed to work back then.
We shall see. ProtonVPN has some handy features that make it beneficial for me to route all traffic through.
A local university sells surplused towers for $40, so my last resort is to get ime of those and only run plex on that computer and not have a VPN on that one.
