Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

Your router might be able to act as a VPN host. This would allow you to connect to your home network from anywhere, and use it just like you would use a service like Proton. And if your home network is set to allow devices to see each other, then you could see your Jellyfin server.
Worst case scenario, you could just run Tailscale directly on your Jellyfin server.
Why is that the worst case it’s goes literally like this: install on your server, install on the other decide (phone, laptop), connect to the same account and BOOM works
Because running it on your router gives you access to the entire network of devices, not just the Jellyfin server.
good luck getting a smart TV to run Tailscale
My mom uses this approach to access my media files. It’s a Sony Android TV and works pretty good actually

I see thank you.
But if I want to keep my Proton VPN connection active, I don’t think what you’re describing is doable.
That would mean being connected to two vpns at once wouldn’t it?
