Jellyfin over the internet (startrek.website)

What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

It feels like everything is a tradeoff and I think a setup like this reduces the complexity for people you share with.

If you added fail2ban along with alert email/notifications you could have a chance to react if you were ever targeted for a brute force attempt. Jellyfin docs talk about setting this up for anyone interested.

Blocking IP segments based on geography of countries you don't expect connections from adds the cost of a VPN for malicious actors in those areas.

Giving Jellyfin its own VLAN on your network could help limit exposure to your other services and devices if you experience a 0day or are otherwise compromised.
