Comment on Jellyfin / Remote Access Help (windows)

Tailscale is the simplest way I’ve found, this does become a bit finicky when it comes to friends and family but you can share a single device aka your Jellyfin server with them. This saves exposing ports etc.

Something I do is use a Tailscale Funnel to share a regular link with friends and family and it works well, without them needing an account.

Have you found any issues serving Jellyfin through funnel? The page you linked says there’s some limitations
I’m tempted to use this one so my non-technical friends can use my jellyfin instance without complaining about how difficult it is to install tailscale (it’s not).

So far I haven’t noticed any limitations, but I only use it infrequently (at most once or twice a week to watch an episode or two of a show together).
So YMMV, not sure how much you typically stream. I guess you could always have the other person manually set a lower quality so less data is being sent if you run into issues. The price of them not installing Tailscale!
