Comment on Plex will be blocking access from at least VPS provider

  Jellyfin also supports UPnP, but you really shouldn’t be exposing the raw ports to the public anyways.

  Ideally, you’d setup Jellyfin and a reverse proxy like SWAG that handles the SSL stuff for you.

    Thanks, I just realized what community I was in lol. Stumbled in here from the everything tab, so now I understand the technical stuff!

    I’ll stick around here a while you’ll have me!

      Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.

      Welcome! Consider a VPN if you need remote access, unless you plan to share it publicly with a lot of people. It’s a bit more work, but safer than directly exposing your PC to the internet.

  That’s still port forwarding.

  A well-configured network that follows security best practices always has UPnP disabled.

    Well, not sure if I have that then.
