I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?

That’s not how web scrappers work lol. No such thing as obscurity except for humans

It seems to that it works. I don't get any web-scrapers hitting anything but my main domain. I can't find any of my subdomains on google.

Please tell me how you believe that it works. Maybe i overlooked something...

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.
