    This should not be downvoted. You should not expose anything straight to the internet unless you know what you’re doing. Use a simple service like Tailscale to create a locally accessible VPN.

      “Know what you’re doing”

      And

      “Forwarded a port to jellyfin”

      Surely has some overlap. You want to open other ports, you want to make sure permissions are properly set on the host machine… What else? HTTPS/SSL to avoid someone in the middle grabbing your password and accessing your media?

      Regardless, I’ll look into tailscale. A VPN would have lots of other uses, as there are other applications I would like to use remotely that I don’t want to expose to the internet.
