    Are you accessing your media from outside of your network?

    I have heard that you need to set up a VPN for Jellyfin to securely use your media library remotely. Plex handles all of that for me so that I don’t need to deal with it.

      I do not, and don’t plan to. Probably wouldn’t be that hard to set up though as someone familiar with nginx.

      I guess Plex uses their own VPN under the hood then to make it more convenient?
