VPN MFA is often oversold, rarely understood, and almost never done right. Discover how Defguard brings it down to the connection layer where it belongs: defguard.net/vpn_mfa. I spent the better part of the week trying to figure out what might be wrong with my RSS reader until finally realizing the flurry of Cloudflare news and activity was real. If you're utilizing their services in your infrastructure, you might be interested in their new e-mail services beta program, expanded feature set for non-enterprise customers, new Content Signals Policy, Ladybird project sponsorship, initiative to hire 1,111 interns next year (a nod to 1.1.1.1), or NET Dollar – their new cryptocurrency for the AI-driven internet (eye roll). The Plex team was also busy dropping content left and right for their Plex Pro Week, an annual event where they partner with popular content creators to shill features we already know exist (with this year's branding leaning heavily into chrome and liquid glass). Personally, this year's biggest takeaways were the official release of their API documentation and learning what Techno Tim looks like without a hat.

How helpful did you find the content in this week's newsletter?
More From selfh.stContent SpotlightMeet AuthPortal, a lightweight authentication gateway. Built as a simpler alternative to existing platforms like Authentik and Authelia, AuthPortal leverages existing users across Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby to manage access and sessions across internal services. Features include an Overseerr-like login popup, signed JWT session cookies, simple env-based config, LDAP support, and more. AuthPortal can be easily deployed via Docker and requires an external PostgreSQL database for data storage.
