I didn't think bpfilter was ready for use at this point. It wasn't last fall, so I 'd avoid it.

Most "servers" should use only LTS releases. 19.04 is NOT LTS.

Thanks

Good on using 18.04. That has support until 2023.
To maintain it, keep it patched, there are 3 things you need to do, weekly.

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove  # run when the output suggests this
sudo apt autoclean  # run to remove old .deb packages which aren't being used anymore

run versioned backups weekly, if not daily. Sorry, there isn't a trivial backup command for everyone.
and
Test the restore of those backups before you need them. Lots of people here have been doing backups for years, only to find they cannot restore. Until you test the restore, you don't really know that you have a backup.
https://blog.jdpfu.com/2011/06/24/sy...-for-linux-pcs has more details. Update: certs renewed.
None of those commands above will move an 18.04 system to any other release. They will move an 18.04.1 to 18.04.2 to 18.04.3 (when available).

The Plex question needs a different thread, but you shouldn't use root and should never allow remote root just for plex.

Thank you very much, and for Plex I find a way without using root, can you help with one more thing please how can I access do meu server from exterior from another internet ?? Can I use vpn ?? Thanks very much for the help
