Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 6 days agoMine is public, but I block every state but the one all of my users live in(family) and I never get unwanted visitors. Couldn’t say the same if I lived in NY or CA.
If they have static IP addresses, you may be able to whitelist them in your proxy, or maybe there’s some sort of dyndns client/relay software you can run if their ips change.

yeah, thanks. but thats not gonna work for me. i live in a big city and none of us (me and my server included) have static IPs nor am I gonna get them (at all) and I dont want to pay for them either (because ISPs here want you to pay for them). in any case, thanks for trying to suggest something. it might help someone else who has a different setup. :)

Welp, I guess they’ll just have to start their own servers or you’ll have to get out your credit card. Pity.

yeah no. there are a lot of other solutions to this. they’re just a little annoying. others have confirmed there are similar setups like plex is doing with a relay server, but selfhosted.

Jellyfin servers don’t connect to eachother, or relay themselves to anything else. I looked over the entire thread and didn’t see anything but ldap and tailscale/wiregusrd suggestions, but you said there were a lot of other solutions, so wherever those solutions are, I’m sure you’ll find them.
