Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?

Meh, 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.

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?

  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.
