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

    Nobody here with a tailscale funnel?? It’s such a simple way to get https access from anywhere without being on the tailnet.

      Is the funnel URL accessible by everyone who knows it? I.e what are the chances someone finds the URL and gets access to it?

        Yep, a Tailscale funnel URL is publicly accessible to anyone who knows it. And while it doesn’t expose your machine’s IP, Jellyfin is exposed publicly. Only the port you configure is reachable, but that doesn’t make it secure in itself - you definitely need more security. I don’t have anything critical on my server so I’m not overly concerned but I still use CSF to block traffic from most every other country and limit abuse.

      I’m looking into it but I find that starting (or keeping open) Tailscale for music is not the best system.

      I’m looking into building a shared Jellyfin library between friends
