Comment on Sharing Jellyfin

There are two routes. VPN and VPS.
VPN; setup wireguard and offer services to your wireguard network.
VPS; setup a VPS to act as a reverse proxy for your jellyfin instance.
Each have their own perks. Each have their own caveats.

The VPS would still involve exposing it

You’re exposing your jellyfin instance to a single IP, your VPS. That’s what a reverse proxy is.
You block all communication from any IP but local, and your VPS IP from jellyfin, and forward web traffic from your VPS to your jellyfin instance. It’s not the same as exposing your jellyfin instance directly. Not sure why I have to explain that…but here we are, I guess.
