  It totally depends on how you expose it to the outside world. If it’s exposed just like it is, it works fine with every device. If you put an authentication before it (e.g. Authelia), it can only be accessed by browsers from outside the network. That being said, it’s not recommended to expose Jellyfin directly, because there are a ton of security flaws. Best practice is to use a VPN

    Well I’m a Luddite so I’m probably exposing myself to miners or something

      Better than exposing yourself to minors

    it can only be accessed by browsers from outside the network.

    Weird.
    If I nslookup my jellyfin URL it responds with an IP in my local IP range…
    And it works both outside with a 2FA page and inside without…

  I do this too but it only works on my home network not remotely.
