FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 23 hours agoI find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits
You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.

Yes, you are right, but I think my point was missed.
Theres not much reward for hackers to hack private jellyfin hosts (unless there is some big exploit that gives remote code execution that im unaware of), sure the bots will scan and try exploits on open ports, but are they specifically targetting jellyfin?
There is always a risk, but in my opinion, the chances of being hacked through jellyfin are way too low to bother with over-bearing measures, like a required vpn connection.
Running jellyfin in a secure manner (without root, only access to your content, etc) reduces the risk of much harm too.
