Comment on Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC

A big PSA here is to have them pass you the device activation link that pops up when they first start Tailscale, and activate their device on your tailnet.
Then you tag it, write an ACL rule for it (or you probably already have a rule for Jellyfin clients connecting only to the Jellyfin server on your tailnet by now, so just the tagging is enough) and that’s it.
MUCH simpler than having non-savvy people attempt to set up a Tailscale user account. Plus, you can only have 6 users in a free tailnet but you can have 100 devices.

Interesting approach, I would have to test this out. I don’t usually add people to my Tail net, but share my server as single device. I don’t think there is low limit for that, but I am not sure.
