Comment on How do I host Jellyfin in the most secure manner possible?

  So:

  • ProtonVPN is installed on my Android phone
  • Android has Always-on VPN enabled
  • Android has Block connections without VPN enabled
  • Host Jellyfin on my Raspberry Pi 5
  • Install Headscale on my Raspberry Pi 5
  • Install Headscale on my Android phone
  • Install a Jellyfin client on my Android phone
  • Configure everything

  And that will work? It will be encrypted during transit? And only run on the LAN? Does ProtonVPN need to allow LAN connections (I assume it does)?

    Sorry, it may be confusing, but Headscale is ONLY the free server component. The client is still Tailscale’s open client. That’s why I’m saying just sign up and try it first with Tailscale, and then if you need more connections without paying, create a Headscale server and re-register your clients to that to skip charges.

      Alright, I’m slowly learning, bare with me here:

      • ProtonVPN is always-on and blocks connections without VPN

      • Jellyfin and Headscale are hosted on the Pi (or does Headscale need its own server?)

      • Tailscale and a Jellyfin client are installed on the phone

      • Will that will run fully on the LAN?

      • Will it be encrypted during transit?

      • Does ProtonVPN need to allow LAN connections?

        Okay, so you might be unfamiliar with networking, so maybe some extra confusion there. Let me try to explain that a bit.

        The Jellyfin server runs on LAN like normal. No need to use Tailscale if you’re just using your Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

        Tailscale/Headscale creates it’s own VPN network which will need its own IP space. Same as any other VPN. It’s just a setting in the config, and the routing is pretty simplistic and mostly automatic.

        Tailscale/Headscale can run anywhere. Doesn’t need to be on that Pi, but that Pi will need a Tailscale client to be on the “Tailnet” and communicate with other devices also connected to it.

        ProtonVPN clients have their own IP space and network that go elsewhere. That’s its own separate thing.
