  So you’re telling people to expose Jellyfin to the internet?

    I’m not telling anyone what to do, I’m just saying the VPN is not necessary.

      It’s not advisable to expose Jellyfin to the internet. Telling people they don’t need VPN means you are encouraging them to expose it to the internet.

        Wrong.

        Telling people they don’t need VPN means you are encouraging them to expose it to the internet.

        Wrong again.

    Jellyfin or Plex, needs to be done if you want remote connections without a VPN

      You don’t technically need it on Plex. They do have a relay feature.

        The relay feature is terrible though. It ruins video quality for any stream over 1mbps unless you pay and then it still ruins any stream over 2mbps. Any good plex server will have direct connect enabled just like jellyfin.

        What’s the security risk you worry about having a plex media server or jellyfin server listening on the Internet?
