Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 6 days agoSecurity for remote streaming is a harder thing to handle. Most people are capable of port forwarding, But just hanging a smallish public project out there in the open is always a dicey proposition. It honestly needs real fail2ban, probably SSL, 2FA and password complexity requirements.
Yeah.
It’s tough because I get they’re an open-source project, and they’re volunteers, but at the same time, security is something that should be the highest priority.

That’s what I do myself but in a lot of cases VPN is beyond the grasp of the grasp of the friends and family that are being shared with.
Tailscale is somewhat approachable for this, there are a number of streaming devices that support TS clients. But then tailscale will eventually enshittify their free offering. Wrapping headscale into this will add yet another layer of complication. VPN is far more secure but I think it makes it unapproachably complicated for many.
