Just for my own education, if you don’t mind - how were you able to tell someone was hammering on the port if it was closed? Would fail2ban have been an option to stop them?
Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 months agoMeh, I won’t expose ports anymore - last time I did I had someone hammering on it hard enough to slow my consumer router.
I closed the port and would still have someone hammer it occasionally for months, hoping the port was still open.

Firewalls can log dropped packets.

Yeah, fair point — I was only talking RCE.
That’s a real risk if you get hit by a lazy stuffing script, and I personally SSH tunnel my self-hosted to a public VPS to avoid that sorta thing.
@Op, if you do notice slowdowns for your whole network & suspicious noise in your Jellyfin logs, the easy move is to configure fail2ban and ask your ISP to rotate your router’s IP for you.
