Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale

If both your Jellyfin server and your siblings are behind residential CGNAT, then high chance your connections are relayed through Tailscale’s DERP servers. You can check with tailscale ping-ing your sibilings’ nodes.

If this is the case, you may consider selfhosting your own DERP somewhere close to you, but I’d argue the performance gains are minimal compared to the extra costs. Another solution may be to enable IPv6 for both you and your siblings, skipping NAT traversal.

This is all assuming you can direct play (i.e. not transcoding) your media. If you’re transcoding, then it’s good to look into hardware acceleration like the other comment mentioned, too
