I still don’t understand how I would be able to connect to my Plex server without having a DNS or static public IP address

Before I posted her I asked AI a bit..
It told me that plex doesn’t act as the middle man by using your account, and that it instead uses NAT traversal techniques…
Now im even more confused because i know to connect to any device over the internet youd need an ip address, which changes constantly.

The Plex service continuously updates a set of dynamic dns names managed by the Plex network that point to your IP address and are associated with your Plex server under your account. When someone signed into the Plex authentication service says “I’d like to connect to dokha’s server”, Plex says sure, here’s the DNS that currently points to their server. When you try to connect it will do some handshakes and determine if you’re registered to connect to that server, etc etc
